wat is the difference btween economics degree and commerce one...
u get to choose same subjects within the faculty anyway
n the commerce degree seems to be of higher value (higher uai??)

 

[astro]

cool thanks, without wings, i'm going to a couple of the open days so i'll just ask there

 

[afta???]

higher uai doesnt mean higher value - it means that theres more demand/less places
commerce is a very broad topic - thus it gives u more job opportunities and you can do a major in eco in it at most unis - economics degree is more specialised in economics - less jobs to choose from, but u have a greater knowledge within the eco area then u would get in a major...

u can also do a commerce/eco double degree...altho that might get boring as it is a lot of the same stuff...

astro: glad to be of some help - i hope it works out for u, and if you keep up mathethmatics you will surely be able to cope at uni, it must may require a lil extra help from tuturs - if you dedicate yourself you will achieve

i think im juggling between law/eco or law/commerece in uni............hav to think about that

[Jago]

[fi_babezy]

Maybe you should enter robots on that 'robot war' show- actually haha i think it is held over in england...too bad

 

[Jago]

i'm looking to go into finance as a career. would u say that bcomm is my best option?

 

[Jago]

Jago, Destroyer of Mankind.

I like that.

Ps

a little extra thort- do 2unit coz if u do general u will definately get scaled down. The highest u can get after general is 80- and thatz if u get 100% in everything...so agreei9ng wiv whoeva said it- it is definitely betta to do lowish mediocre in higher level, than do brill at a lower level...
good luck!

 

[afta???]

i see a problem in the gap between 2u and general......
there is such a difficult jump between the two courses ........
i reckon if u can do 1/5 of 2u alright...u can excell in general

*cough*
bridging classes

aww... sweet words ww.

pcx_demolition017 has to use his words clearer ... finance is associated with stockbroking and all the comlicated things.......
if u mean commerece and economics........they are different
but yea bcomm is a broad degree and becon is more specialised

pcx_demolition017 has to use his words clearer ... finance is associated with stockbroking and all the comlicated things.......

that's what i'm looking to go into...
i'm into the mathematical side of things i guess, maybe actuarial?

 

[astro]

would it have been better to do both business studies and eco if i wanted a commerce degree?
