unsw options for comm/sci (1 Viewer)

[Exeter]

hey is this possible, i dont particularly understand the prospectus for unsw
i wanna do a double degree commerce and science
with majors in marketing and international business for commerce, and psychology for science

is this possible?

 

[perfectionist]

i was thinking about doing B.commerce/B.Science
with, HRM, Accounting and Psychology.

dunno if its a good combination?
stil lthinking about it.

a double degree would be longer too!

and im not sure, IS DOUBLE DEGREE WORTH IT??

 

[Exeter]

lol..always for that psychology
yeh i was thinkin of doin it [comm] with arts but thats 5 years!

another thing i dont understnad, in the UNSW prospectus it mentions that marketing is available towards the end of fourth year(honours)??
what does that mean

According to my Faculty Handbook, in BComm/BSci, u can only take 1 major in Commerce and 1 major in Science, because the degree is only 192UOC (meaning a 4 year degree)

A double degree is quicker than doing two degrees separately, so it's worth it if you don't have that time to waste.

Also International Business is widely believed to be the most useless Commerce major available - just look at the subject descriptions.

Changing majors is very easy though so you can see for yourself.

 

[dvse]

And I think you can only have a single commerce major and no minors for BCom/BSc

thanks for info guys

hmm..if int bus is seen as useless, what is a good thing to do with marketing

It may be useless, but its a very interesting major. It's good to do in combination with marketing, accounting and economics as ur "main" major

yeh, when i went to the lecture at open day i found it quite interesting, (as well as scoring a free shirt)

Always be sceptical when academics talk about the relevance of their courses or fields of study.

 

[perfectionist]

I have been to NONE of the open days
so yeah this time i have to...

i hope i "like" commerce,...i liked business studies and maths at school.

I do it, and trust me its interesting
I do Accounting - which will get me a job, and I do International Business as my other major - which I enjoy

if i'm intending to do actuarial+computer science 1st yr and end up finding acturial too hard and wanna change to accounting, would it be weird to combine accounting with computer science? so still can't decide on whether to do a bcomm/bscience or just bcomm so i can choose 2 majors in commerce

 

[dvse]

Well, you can always drop computer science as well. Combination with accounting is pretty unusual, but it's still better than straight commerce, I think. You can always claim superior knowledge of Excel VBA as the result

Science degree can show the employers that you have some solid technical skills.

i'm hoping to do comm/arts....maybe majoring in Accounting and Japanese Studies or generally Asian Studies...if there's such a thing
