Economics has no assumed knowledge, so you should be fine. I'm doing ECON1002 this semester with no economics knowledge, and so far I'm finding it quite manageable.

You'll need at least a distinction average. Then you will be admitted based on either a 50/50 split of your ATAR (which is generally recommended to be 97+) and WAM, or only your WAM, whatever is higher. So by that, you should have a good chance if you get great university marks.

Don't have any notes I'm afraid, but if your interested, there are some FINC2011/2012 textbooks in the Coop Bookshop (this early on in the semester they might be stacked in the middle of the store somewhere, otherwise just check the bookshelves). Have a flick through and that might give you some...

As a general rule, if you have completed 48 credit points (8 subjects) in your previous degree, than you will be considered on GPA/WAM alone. So if you were to transfer at the end of this year, your WAM will take into account your results in 2013 and 2014. And full time study requires a minimum...

It's possible, though you may have to work a bit harder to get to the same level as everyone else. For Commerce in general they recommend knowing 2U material before you start, but there are foundational programs like bridging courses, and an ongoing program called Maths in Business which should...

These are the most current ones.

Ah yes, had that lecture today. You forgot this one, which I think is the most telling: http://imageshack.com/a/img69/5871/4cox.jpg Look to be brutally honest I don't think a question like this is something that you should be asking. If you are intelligent, and you put in the effort, you...

Double majors are pretty common, and you shouldn't have any problem with completing your degree on time. The requirement for pretty much all Arts majors is a minimum of 36 credit points (6 subjects) across your second and third year. Seeing as you typically do 8 subjects a year, you'll have...

Actually, changed my mind again :). Semester 1 2014 BUSS1001 - Understanding Business BUSS1030 - Accounting, Business and Society CLAW1001 - Foundations of Business Law ECON1002 - Introductory Macroeconomics Semester 2 2014 ACCT1006 - Accounting and Financial Management BUSS1002 - The Business...

ECOP1001 - Economics as a Social Science Ease: (9/10) This course is very well structured and easy to follow, regardless of your background in economics, and it’s easy enough if you do the weekly readings to participate in tutorial discussion and understand what is going on. Assessment wise it...

Sorry about your situation. Your parents views are certainly misguided and ignorant, but things like this: is just downright selfish. I think that seems to be why your parents want to control what you do. So I think the question I'd want to ask you is, do you really want to run your family's...

It's just that you seemed to imply it was a necessity, that's all.

As RishBonjour has said. That's not to say getting a 95 WAM would do anything but help :).

Um, was that a typo? It is extremely difficult to get a WAM that high. I would say a credit or distinction WAM would be a minimum, depending where you go. The finance major doesn't really start until second year, but I have enjoyed my studies in Economics thus far. I'm still in the early days...

The "scope" that USYD offers is only a difference of one or two units. I doubt that would differentiate yourself too much. All knowledge is helpful knowledge. I see no problem with doing a combined degree as long as you are OK with being at uni for a little longer.

Yeah that shouldn't be a problem. The other majors aren't as directly relevant to the profession as Finance is.

I would argue that there are relatively good job prospects for management and marketing majors (maybe more so the latter). Problem is whether the jobs that are available are actually ones you would feel happy doing in the first place. In any case, I have friends who have studied it first year...

You can do units in Summer and Winter School as well if you wish. I'm actually attempting to do something like this myself to squeeze a five year degree into four. Though depending on what you are studying your choices may be quite limited.

Statistics is relevant if you end up studying data analytics, otherwise it isn't needed so much.

I'm considering a career in investment banking as well, and I'm doing a Finance/Economics double major. I'd consider the Finance major as absolutely essential, Economics/Econometrics would be a useful second major as well. Quantitative Business Analysis would be worth doing as well especially if...
