Actuarial studies... =/ I'm half decent at 4 unit, and I'm too scared to touch it. I suppose maybe it's not all it's cracked up to be, but I don't know. I guess it's worth a try. The only thing I'm interested in with just a plain commerce degree is so I can choose both Accounting and Finance.

im not that good at maths either..

it sounds interestin thats all..

if i cant make into bcom then i wud prbly go mac for accounting its 85 right?

and is it true that macq is the best uni for accounting courses?

 

[Riviet]

i like com/sci but i also want to do language and history
...
if i do com/art, i want physics XD

Hmm I'm also thinking of doing com/sci (if I get into com), and you can do physics as a major for art???

She means that she wants to do some commerce, arts and science.

id say macq finance is good but UNSW and USYD are better- look at the number of finance courses UNSW offers in comparison
Macq is better than UTS for it tho and accting vice versa

okay im going to put my neck out there and say that com at unsw will fall. maybe law will as well.

with the expansion of places in both areas there would be more places at the uni. did they say how they will administer the program? will be be entry into com and choose that stream, or more like a seperate course u need to apply for like com/sci at unsw?

anyway, i rkn it will go down, unless you all get excited and apply for com at unsw.

how do u know places have gone up?
is it the new courses, the new building, more int students goin to our singapore campus?

because Hilmer is sacking a lot of staff, if they keep expanding there wont be enough staff

the reason the unsw com cut off will fall is because they are offering com (lib) and com (int) along with it this year, and enough suckers with the higher uais will go into that. with that said, 93 is the lowest its been in years so for the cut-off to fall below that will be pretty amazing.

from what i've been told, unsw actuary is harder than mac because its more theory-based whereas mac has more modelling but its more respected because its the oldest actuary course in australia. for finance, cant go past unsw at the moment. the people that matter (those who are employing you) will have graduated from unsw or usyd, so the stigma against other unis will still be there for another 10 years.

I think so. As long as you have another arts major. Well thats how it works at USYD.

From my experience @ Deloitte, they hardly care where you got your degree.

 

[jgeo2000]

everyone do bad in their HSC or not apply to Commerce (international) so i can get in lol
ive been told the expected UAI for this course will be around 97 and i only got 95.45 so unless i get some HD's this semester or no one applies im screwed (which is likely the case becuase im incredibly lazy)

i applied for commerce and economics (liberal studies) as well

 

[blackfriday]

sunjet: i think what i said about people employing you referred more to law firms, but you really think they wont judge between a usyd grad and a uws grad?

those new four year unsw com degrees - stupid waste of time because you can go on exchange without doing that special program and all you're doing is doing a bunch of courses that wont really increase your job prospects. in fact, you've stayed an extra year at uni doing subjects you didnt need to do, so you've placed yourself at a disadvantage to those who did a straight three year degree and have a year's work experience.

can u do finance in BOEconomics? and what other courses r avaliable for accounting and fiance in UNSW?

and what is the difference between major n co-major?

say u can do accounting as a major in Bcom n co-major in BOE, is there any difference in terms of what u get to learn??

 

[Raginsheep]

Yes you can do finance in BEcon. Its just that BEcon requires you to do a economics major where as BComm is much more flexible. Same thing applies for accounting although I think you have to spend all your electives on accounting and legal subjects to get your exemptions.

A major is a single area of specialisation within a degree. A co-major is one of your two areas of specialisation if you decide to to a double major for your degree.
