I'm trying to get my head around the whole picking subjects issue ..

I was just wondering where exactly I would find the description of the composition of the arts/comm degree, ie. the number of arts/commerce subjects

I just don't get how many we are able to choose.

HELP

did you download the arts or commerce handbook from the usyd site?

there is another post where you can find the sites from.

zannaz does this degree, she might be able to help you.

i think you do the core commerce units in first year.. i'm not 100% on that..

You have to do 6 compulsory junior commerce units, but you don't have to do it all in your first year if you don't want to.

You have to do 240 credit points all together
One junior unit is usually = 6 credit points
One senior unit is usually = 8 credit points
You can do up to 100 credits of junior subjects
You have to do a major in arts from the table A subjects
You have to do a major in a commerce subject
One major is usually = 2 junior units + 4 senior units. Sometimes it's different.
A minor is = 2 junior units + 2 senior units
You have to do at least 72 senior credit points of Arts subjects
You have to do at least 96 credit points (junior and senior) of commerce subjects


In first year, you do a maximum of 48 credit points per year, that is 24 /semester, = 4 units per semester.

In second and subsequent years, you can do up to 32 credit points per semester.

Both the arts and commerce handbooks have information on course structure. There is a website from the arts faculty that describes course structure really well.

Join the arts transistion workshop/mentor program while you're at it, you'll get some more information from a sheet they give you with the rest of your forms, or see the people standing at the front of the assembly hall.
