B. Commerce (1 Viewer)

Hi. I have been enrolled into B Commerce at UNSW this year. However most of my friends are doing a combined degree with commerce instead. I'm planning on doing a double major so... was it a wise choice? I have been told that it's a waste not to do a combined degree. Is that true?

No. For a combined degree, you get 2 degrees in 5 years rather than 6. (That's if it's arts or sciences and sometimes engineering). However with your B Commerce, I'm pretty sure that you can take up units outside the faculty. Also, with the degree you are doing, I'm pretty sure that you can have 2 majors (eg. mktg and econ). For Com/Sci at UNSW, i think it's one sci major and one com. major. Not 100% sure on all of these matters. Sorry if I've made a mistake.

Just do acct and finance, you'll be fine!

Another thing just came to mind.

If you've changed your mind, try to transfer into a double. You can also start doing science or arts or engineering after you've finished the commerce. Can't you?

It's not a waste if you want to get out of uni faster and have less HECS debt (and other uni related expenses)

well i'm planning to have one major in HRM instead of finance and such. And if I were to transfer to combined degree in later years, how do I do that? Sorry, i'm just sort of lost

Apply through UAC, the same was as a recent school leaver.

No you don't have to go through UAC, grab a form from commerce place at unsw and you can internally transfer (ie. Comm to Comm/Arts to Comm/Eng to Comm/Sci and so-forth)

It's not a waste. I'm a Comm/Arts student and if anything, I think doing my arts is a waste. It's not really going to help me much career wise but it's for personal interest.

Your long threads psychoanalysing this matter on bos and unsw were also a waste but it's not like it's going to help you.

Zing.

In saying that come on gayz if you don't want to be restricted to just a straight commerce degree than you'd pick commerce (liberal studies).

It's like comm/arts in one less year (comm/sci is the same length but is highly unhumanitarian. and hardgay).
