Transferring from UWS, seems everyone does Bcom lol. Looks like it had a higher atar/uai this year (slightly) yet only aprox 30 people got main round offers for eco when ~150 did for commerce. Aren't uai's an indicator on popularity?

Yeah..

So that just means people who wanted to do eco all got like 80 ? Bcomm is pretty broad and not too bad since they changed the structure.. before that they didnt allow you to double major forcing you to stay back 1 year to get there equivalent 'double degree' which isnt too bad but i wouldnt mind finishing 1 year earlier.

Whats ya major?

 

[matt88m]

My major? I wasnt aware you had a major in Bec. i'm on the handbook page now and it doesnt say anything about a major being required. Looks like a few core subjects which i'll be able to get credits for several, and the rest are just electives you pick. Is that correct?

 

[williamc]

yeah you pick either economics or econometrics as your major

 

[matt88m]

Is there anywhere on the mac site it says this? Nothing on Bachelor of Economics - 2010 Course Handbook - Macquarie University says anything about majors. Just a little confused sorry.

 

[williamc]

ummm yeah it doesn't say that you can..

umm

2010 Handbook - 2010 Course Handbook - Macquarie University

looks like you can only do it through those degrees

if you want to major in econometrics do a B commerce (applied econometrics)

otherwise just stick to B economics

edit:

lol even for that economics major it says you can't do it with a B economics. You can definetely major in economics or econometrics with an economics degree at mq
