are these the right classes for 1st yr finance??? (1 Viewer)

[uberlovesounds]

i decided to change majors today from acct to finance, anyhoo, are these the right FIRST YEAR classes for finance? same as the acct ones??

ACCT1501Accounting and Financial Management 1A
ECON1101Microeconomics 1
ECON1202Quantitative Methods A


thanks! we only get to specialise in finance in second year yeah?

 

[Chris.]

those courses are the core courses that all econ and commerce people do. You then pick one elective..which you would pick a FIN course for a finance major

 

[Riviet]

First years can pick FIN1612 as their elective (1st sem).

 

[uberlovesounds]

so i have to do the 4 core courses and if i want, a finance elective? would there be too many units, i'm do comm/law, not sure if it's going to overload.. btw, i have 15 hours excluding the finance elective

 

[drmix]

Com/Law students dont get to pick anything first year

 

[uberlovesounds]

FINS2624 Portfolio Mgmt (6 UOC)
FINS3616 International Business Finance (6 UOC)

Com/Law students follow this plan:

http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/plans/2007/LAWSA14733.html

where it says Commerce/Economics Elective

you do your elective there (ie finance courses)

Students must complete:
48 units of credit from the Finance list to fulfil requirements for a single Major.

48UoC equals 8 courses (if they are 6UoC each) and therefore you are only allowed to do one major as there is only 8 elective spots to fill

thanks heaps drmix for clearing my doubts!
