    Almost done BCom (finance), what other degree would you do?

    I will be starting in 3 weeks from now, so I only have a vague idea. All I know is that it involves taxation law, specifically relating to banks and financial service firms.

    Almost done BCom (finance), what other degree would you do?

    Getting a clerkship hasn't been my goal since first year. I scored a summer vac job in banking/financial tax at a big 4 and i'm really excited because the pay is excellent (around the same as big law firms) but the hours are completely normal, and it's perfectly relevant to both of my degrees.

    Almost done BCom (finance), what other degree would you do?

    Ok then, pointless *in my opinion*. I would consider it a complete waste to have spent 5 years of my life studying so hard (7 years if you count years 11 and 12 trying to get 100 UAI) when I could have worked straight out of high school (or even during years 11 and 12) and have already bought a...

    Commerce Combined Degrees

    I mean engineering as a degree is difficult due to the amount of classes and complexity of the subjects. But if you're seriously interested, go for it, that shouldn't hold you back.

    Commerce Combined Degrees

    engo is probably the most difficult combination you can choose. if you combine with something, it's obvious that you have a lot more career paths to choose from then straight commerce students. really it depends on what you want to do with your degree(s).

    Almost done BCom (finance), what other degree would you do?

    Just based on the fact that you resent a city lifestyle and cannot see yourself working regular hours (9-6), when top law firms keep you in until around 9 or 10pm on a regular basis. You could still use law and have normal work hours (9-6) by working in tax at a big 4, or a smaller law firm, but...

    Almost done BCom (finance), what other degree would you do?

    Simple: do what interests you. PS I don't think you are a suitable candidate for law.

    Grades/Unit of Study/ Distinction Average

    Yes, they are ALL weighted equally. One exception I know of is engineering, but not commerce/economics/business.

    Transferring from Macq. BCom/LLB to UNSW/USYD BCom/LLB OR BComm at UNSW - C/D average

    Re: Transferring from Macq. BCom/LLB to UNSW/USYD BCom/LLB. you need a D average (around 75). yeah they'll still look at your ATAR. not sure which option is wiser as I don't know how likely you are to get a D average

    6 hrs of study a day is nothing. Try 12 -14 and then we'll talk.

    Grades/Unit of Study/ Distinction Average

    You can just calculate your average the normal way if all your subjects are worth 6 credit points (i.e. (X1 + X2 + X3)/3). Where you have different credit points it's easier to just treat marks as a proportion of 6 credit points as follows. Say you have the following results Subject A: 75...

    STILL trying to figure out which course to do, advice appreciated

    i'd say it's pretty normal to be undecided at this stage of the process. just take your time and you'll make the right decision

    Commerce/Law, major in accounting

    Absolutely. In fact, if you defer after your first semester, and reapply to UAC at the end of your first year, UAC will disregard your first semester results and allow you to transfer to whatever course you want on the basis of your UAI alone. That's what I did but I decided to stick with...

    Commerce/Law, major in accounting

    I suppose it depends on which department we're talking about. I got into the tax department with finance. I have met people who did law by itself or law/science or even law/arts. So from my experience the rule in tax seems to be that they prefer law degrees (preferrably combined) over single...
