Yes, I'm definitely considering it. I still have to check up on how honours w/ com/eco works. Honours will stretch the degree to 5 yrs. Is it a HD or credit avg that is required at most unis???
This is for UNSW:
For honours in economics you need a 71 weighted average in economics subjects and no fails. For honours in accounting you need to do the honours streams of classes in years 2 and 3 (this means you do an extra assignment and your final exam is worth 10% less than normal). To get into each year of honour in accounting you need a 75 average in the previous years accounting subjects (that means 1st, 2nd and 3rd years'). And for law you just have to get a good mark, that's how you get honours. That's all I know.

the numbers include total enrolment within the faculty, not just first years, so it would include the people who are doing combined degrees.
the extra 2000 students would be a combination of the extra numbers of undegraduate students + the large numbers of postgraduate students....

UNSW has the best Faculty of Commerce and Economics in Australia, so put UNSW as ur first preference. It is the best because it offers the widest variety of majors and is a very flexible commerce degree. Macquarie and Sydney are good too, except Macquarie have different degree's for different things, hence inflexibility, and Sydney doesn't have as many options as UNSW does.

i think MQ havin the different degrees for different things is good if u know what area of commerce u want to do, plus they have a great variety of double degrees

um....
how can i say......
NO
depending on what path in commerce you wanna follow. Accounting is bluddy good at mq. 1 of the lecturers is something president of CPA. Mq pays him shiteloads for him to lecture at mq.
and commerce is pretty good at mq, coz u get to feel the presence of actuaries and absorb their intelligence.
yeah macquarie actuary is the best in the country
and they have a decent graduate school of management
I was thinking of doing a postgraduate degree at macquarie, because non of the others have a Master of Economics...but i shouldnt b thinking bout that yet!

sydney and unsw are pretty even as far as commerce goes, I can look at this objectively even though I am a Sydney Uni student.
It depends on what suits you, Minai told a bit of a furfy when he said that the commerce degree at UNSW is flexible, at Sydney you can major anywhere else outside the faculty within a commerce degree as long as you have one commerce major in your degree. So you could major in marketing say and chinese or accounting and ancient history, its up to you.
Just talking about faculties in general, the economics and business faculty at Usyd offers many more degree programs also to suit individual needs.
e.g. Commerce, Economics, EcoSocSci, Commerce (liberal studies)
For me Syd was the choice because for what I want to get into (that being the high end finance industry, investment banks in particular) dont think about going anywhere other than UNSW or Usyd you wont get hired, they campus recruit from syd and UNSW only - cry the big four go to all the campuses, yes I know they do but im not talking accounting firms here.
I am in liberal studies variant of Commerce more or less because its commerce/arts in four years rather than 5, usyd had more degrees and met my needs because of that.
Also I think you will find that Sydney University is MUCH MUCH more respected internationaly and held in a higher regard overseas - go to wall st., hey you ever heard of sydney uni or UNSW no, but hey they are sure as hell more likely to have heard of the Uni of Sydney over NSW.
Take into account the sydney uni social scene and the demographic of the "type" of students who attend Usyd and you have yourselves a winner, plus why would you want to go to a glorified tafe college coz no offence UNSW ppl at the end of the day thats what you were and really what you will always stay.
Dont take it too personally =) love the Usyd Unsw rivalry

haha stubbsy...
well in defense of UNSW -
U'll find that UNSW has consistantly outranked Sydney in the Asiaweek top uni's of the Asian Region - UNSW has always been top 10 and Sydney hasnt, showing the depth of resources, research quantum and general education value at UNSW compared to Sydney. UNSW is a MUCH more modern university, as it was brought up as kenso tech.
U'd go to UNSW over Sydney if u actually wanted to GET an education, as u'll find in the Good Universities Guide, Sydney's courses generally have a Poor educational experience rating..prestige aside, u'd actually wanna feel like u've learnt something u can apply to your future career?
I guess both uni's have their strengths and weaknesses. But in my experience, it boils down to this: If ur a true aussie, goto Sydney for commerce, and if your an Asian, or anyone else, u'd goto UNSW.

also depends how much work you want to do/think you can handle
at usyd, my friend gets almost swamped doing straight commerce for accounting/finance and i'm doing actuarial studies at unsw and i have way less work then he does (they have more assignments, compulsory tutorial work, more exams).
