Can anyone confirm or disprove this???

Because if so...

It depends on what you're combining with law.

I'm doing computer science, and I only have enough time for one major.

But I have a friend doing commerce, and I think he has two majors (finance and accounting). So... it depends...

i heard u can do a double major for comm even when combined with law, at usyd. but u have to do extra lessons, like at summer school or something

no, at usyd double major means a single major to greater depth

Yeah seems like ill be doin it... I don't know where i'll fit it though - if i get into law, then it really stuffs up my program. Means i'd have to do catch-up law units plus honours preparation in 2nd year - yuck

Accounting more exciting??? you're starting to freak me out

lexie, you can do GOVT Hons 2 along with GOVT 3991. But that will be alot and I mean ALOT of reading.

 

[santaslayer]

im gonna look stupid here, but, with the honors, do u get some sort of academic result at the end? and can u actually "fail" an honours course?

 

[RXG]

Yup.

you get to put on your resume BA (Hons) or BEc (Hons) which looks snazzy and is extremely appealing to employers.

65 or below for your honours year = FAIL.
