Doing units of study from other faculties? Possible? (1 Viewer)

[benfitz22]

I'm enrolled at Commerce at Sydney, keen on doing the full 8 units of study over two semesters, but really not finding 8 that I'm keen on.

There are 5 compulsory core Commerce units, and also one more which I'm happy to do.
After these six units, I have a spare spot each semester in which there aren't really two Com units I want to do (and if I do enroll in these, I feel I won't go really well because I hate them).

My question is, should I do two other Commerce units, can I choose units from other faculties entirely, or should I just study 6 subjects?

Cheers

I guess you could do them if they really interest you. Just be aware that you will be paying $1000s for them and they won't be relevant to your career at all.

read the course rules. im doing BCom/BSc and i have to do 96 cp each of com and science units (so 192 out of 240 for the double degree)
the remaining 48cp can be from whichever faculty.

Wtf? $1000s for them? Um, no. You pay the same price as everyone else. And they're not necessarily unrelated.

Check if your degree lets you. I know you can do science in an arts degree and vice versa.

a minimum of 96 credit points in units of study from the Business School and the School of Economics (a maximum of 48 credit points in units from any other faculty).

Did I say you would be paying different? Most subjects at my uni are around $1000 each.

Lolwot? I'm paying $500-$600 for mine.

So just to be clear, there is no extra cost for substituting units from bus/eco for arts/sci/whatever?

 

[meilz92]

nope. heck it'll probably be even less seeing as most business subjects are around $1000
