Transferring out of UWS (1 Viewer)

[anomynouss]

Im looking at applying the Bachelor of Business and Commerce course due to my low UAI.

What are the chances of being able to transfer out of UWS after completing first yr of the business and commerce course into a city uni doing commerce.

Would the average be minimum credit? My UAI is in the 60s range, and I'm not too confident of transferring as they look at 50% UAI, 50% Uni marks.

Also would it be easier if I did say an easier coure, eg. tourism and do extra well in that and then transfer to another uni doing commerce. Or is it best to transfer doing a related to course to what course you wanted to do after being transferred at the new uni?

It is best to asj these questions of students/staff at the unis that you are interested in transferring to as ultimately, UWS has no control/input into these kinds of things

ur chances depends on how hard you work. you dont always have to go to UWS and then transfer out. you have a number of options such as tafe, different uni or college to get some sort of credit and then transfer to the uni you want. u probably want to pass all subjects to transfer.

the new business and commerce degree kinda depends on what major you want to do. and you said you wanted to do tourism for easy, but actually first years often do the same subjects, whether you major accounting, tourism or marketing. same subjects-statistics, economics, law, accounting and management as introduction subjects.

you're best doing some course you are interested in because if you don't like it then, you have wasted your time and money.

What's wrong with UWS in it's own right anyway?

A course is only "easy" if you're actually interested in it. With your UAI, I'd say you'll need at least Distinction/High Distinctions to get a good UAI/GPA average to transfer out. That is 75% / 85% respectively. It's not impossible, but you'll need to put a lot more effort in than you did for your HSC. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but almost everyone at Uni aims for a HD, and to get that mark the average hours you'll need to put in are about 7+ hours per subject. For a full-time student (4 subjects), that is a 28 hour per week of outside-Uni-study-load. If you cannot get a consistent routine of study every day throughout the 15 weeks of a semester, it's easy to screw up good marks, unless you're extremely talented of course. If you're really looking for an easy option, it would be bachelor of arts.

I agree But just thought i'd add that from personal experience - you certainly don't "need" to put in the full 7 hours per week outside class time in B Business units. If you have an aptitude for the type of work involved, you can easily get away with 1-2 hours per week outside of class provided you attend all teh tutes and at least the majority of lectures, and get a D-HD in a large portion of the units required in a business course.

Of course if you don't have an aptitude for it you'd need to do at least the 7 hours per week outside of class, that plus the 3 horus in class plus travel time essentially you're looking at around 50 hours per week dedicated to something you don't really want to do....

So if you are applying to a course simply to transfer out you really need to look into the content of the course itself and consider whether you can see yourself doing very well because if you don't get a transfer, you'll have paid all that money and spent a great deal of effort for essentially no reason

There are other pathways to uni so make sure you look into those too .
