Tbh I don't know/understand much about the situation, so I have no valuable answer for that query. Sorry :/

From what I can see, you've decided upon a finance minor before actually completing any finance subjects. If you realise a finance minor is not for you during/shorttly after studying FINS1613, the completion of FINS1612 will be pretty much be a waste. I would delay FINS1612 by at least a...

modest :P

Marks needed for state rank do change year to year. It's not a fixed threshold, by any means.

Personally, as an actuarial student, I would recommend getting MGMT1001 out of the way, by doing it in the first semester of your first year. Arguably, first semester of first year has the easiest subjects, and each semester only gets harder from there! Many of my peers have decided to delay it...

There is identical content and pretty similar assessments each semester. Only thing of importance that changes is the LIC (lecturer in charge) for that semester - from what I've heard, whenever Hugh Bainbridge is LIC for the semester, MGMT is tad easier, whereas semesters when Lynn Gribble is...

In regard to double degree combinations, the first question you have got to ask is which double degree combinations interest you most. What appeals to you - combining with Adv Maths? Commerce? Science? Law? etc

Here's the link again - https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/students/accept-enrol/enrol/enrolment-guide-undergraduate 1) Well, yes, it is recommended, because for example ACCT1501 and ECON1101 are prerequisites for ACCT1511 and ECON1102 respectively. So, if you delay doing ACCT1501 and ECON1101...

I would recommend checking out http://community.boredofstudies.org/115/university-new-south-wales/175560/unsw-subject-reviews.html and http://community.boredofstudies.org/115/university-new-south-wales/324675/unsw-subject-survival-guides.html - as there are many useful snippets of information...

Not everyone who succeeds in actuarial studies is "naturally gifted". I will be honest with you though and say the majority of those who survive the whole duration of the degree are "naturally gifted". But that does not mean, if you're willing to put in the effort and stay consistent, that you...

This came to mind when reading your interests/preferences - http://sydney.edu.au/vetscience/index.shtml

Let's suppose you did ACCT1501, ECON1101, FINS1613 and MATH1151 in first semester. And let's suppose you did ACCT1511, ECON1102, MATH1251 and ACTL1101 in second semester. Now, ACCT1501 & 1511, ECON1101 & 1102, and FINS1613 directly count for your commerce degree. Also, according to...

"Year 11 students who wish to sit the LAT prior to their HSC year may do so. Your LAT result will be valid for two years so you can use it to apply for Law in 2018" - Pretty nice of UNSW to offer this! Good on them! (Y)

Looking at the required subjects for the quantitative risk major (http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/plans/2016/MATHR13956.html) and the handbook page for your desired program (http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2016/3589.html), from what I can see, it seems that...

I was actually in an identical dilemma last year and I got people's advice here - http://community.boredofstudies.org/136/australian-school-business/333310/fins1613-vs-mgmt1001.html - I think it's definitely a worthwhile read for you. I do agree overall with what RoT said. UNSW Business School...

According to UNSW website (https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/students/accept-enrol/enrolment-guide-undergraduate), "You need to enrol in the following three Commerce core courses plus one Arts course: * Choose THREE of the following courses: - MGMT1001 Managing Organisations & People - ACCT1501...

Don't think I have insights to offer but bump!!

Here's an oversimplified explanation to try to get you to understand. Every single student studying at unsw, in all single and double degree undergraduate programs, are expected to do four subjects a semester. Now, the actuarial studies degree by itself is three years and the commerce degree by...

If you do the combined double degree program of actuarial studies and commerce, your workload per semester is exactly the same as the single actuarial studies degree. You still do four subjects per semester. It's the duration of your studies which increases (an extra year) I would look at the...
