hopefully i will be going to uni in 2005 but i have a question cause i am curious about the two courses:
Bachelor of Economic and Social Sciences
Bachelor of Commerce
in both these courses you can major in Human resources and Industrial relations
do you do the same work in the courses even though they are different degrees??

i think the amounts of credit points required should be the same, although i believe ecos soc sci degree gives you a broader range of majors and electives (eg. some arts) than the plain commerce degree

actually, yeah, in ecos soc sci, u can take psychology and sociology as majors

bad timing alman...i think most of the class of 02 r on holidays or away, maybe try unsw forum, there seems to be more there.
There isn't that much difference really except that at UNSW there are a greater number of majors to choose from that sydney doesn't offer such as international business and actuarial studies.
In terms of reputation and prestige they are relatively the same, possibly UNSW has a bit of an edge over Usyd in the asia pacific region though. I think it really comes down to which uni's atmosphere you like better, which can be decided from the open days.

yeah i reckonOriginally posted by Ultimate
yeah looks good
nah you'll be fine.
I never did maths in year 12 and i still manage to pass and get decent grades. But this is only first year, If you are thinking of majoring in Finance/accounting/economics/econometrics in later years than you need to be good at maths. But i'm majoring in Marketing which requires only first year econometrics which i passed.
at usyd there is the Maths Learning centre where any student from any faculty can drop in and ask for help from a maths tutor and there are 2unit and 3unit maths bridging courses. So you'll be fine.

so for someone that doesnt exactly excel in maths it isnt a heaps demanding course in terms of the first yr prequisites? if you major in other areas such as HRM/IR, management & marketing are there many job options cos it seems to me that everyone that finishes this degree majors in either finance, accounting etc....???
hey, if i dont get into b.comm at usyd, is it hard to transfer from b.eco to b.comm in 2nd yr??? i heard that in 1st yr, the 2 degrees are very similar, therefore it is faily easy to transfer however i dont know how competitive it is
do u have ne suggestions on what i could take, to transfer into b.comm, if not the b.eco???
thx in advance

Try and do similar subjects in the BEc degree as you would for the BCom in first year. Get a credit average, distinction would be better and apply to transfer!Originally posted by lilp
