Employability depends on the individual - marks (irrespective of uni), work experience, extracurricular activities, personality etc. Go to open days and check out both universities to see which environment (not just campus) would suit you. One difference you pointed out is USyd would take 5 years whereas Macquarie would take 4 years - how much is a year worth to you?

 

[tempco]

the uni you attend matters. but obviously, not as much as your marks.

yes, but its as usual a package and not just university name/marks, ie. work experience, extracurricular, personality.

no double major is 3 years.

it should be 5 at sydney - check their website.

 

[StGeorgeDragons]

what about at nsw, it says

The minimum time for completing the requirements for a Bachelor of Commerce degree at Pass level is normally 3 years full-time or 6 years part-time, unless the student is enrolled in a Co-op program in which case the minimum time for completion is 4 years full-time.

wats a co op, is that double degree?

how long would BCom (Economics and Finance, with Honours) take?

no its 3 years.
You can even with some subjects get a triple major in 3 years.

That cannot be emphasised enough. I've been to a grad recruitment interview and what uni you wen't to means pretty much jack in the context of your extracurricular activities, abilities and experience.

 

[StGeorgeDragons]

its not even more time at uni is it, u just share units between 2 majors i think.

 

[stazi]

they won't let u do commerce in 4 years unless ure doing it part-time. That's because the max credit points is 144 and if you take the full load it's 24CP a semester = 48CP/year (mmm maths skillz). Times that by 3 and u get 144CP.
did someone say "OMG Secks?!"

 

[Meldrum]

How about the opposite; what's the worst course?

Boong studies?

 

[stazi]

Well there's a bachelor of surfing management for fee paying students only

Oops, I was thinking of combined degrees.

is it good to double major in finance and economics,

if you work as a bank employee, like a investment banker, what restrictions are there for you to buy for urself. eg not for a client. im just wondering cause ur buying investments for banks to make profit, could u also do the same for urself?

can they also borrow money with less interest?

so does doing b economics major in finance and economics have the same job opportunities as doing b commerce major in finance and economics?
