The 50/50 thing is universal for all uni's, its the standard UAC uses when u apply to them for transfer

With a BCom/BArts or BCom/BSocSci, u can double major in Commerce and single major in Arts (3 majors all up)
but in a BCom/BScience, or BCom/BEngineering, u can only do a single major for each degree


so u cant do a double major if u wanna do comm/law?

 

[pigs_can_fly]

not at unsw, but u can at usyd

Yeah u can potentially get 4 majors at Usyd through a double degree

 

[mnbvc]

haha ooh thanx guys...and just another thing, can you do honours with any degree? like if i major in accounting can i do honours for that?

 

[pigs_can_fly]

yeah, pretty sure u can, although the relevant uni website should have information of which major u can continue into for postgrad study

at UNSW, for a BCom, u can apply for an Honours year, provided u get at least 71% average in Level 2 and Level 3 courses in that particular major, in:
Accounting
Finance
HRM
Industrial Relations
Info Sys
International Business
Marketing

and for a BEc
Economics
Econometrics
Eco History
Financial Economics

2nd and 3rd year courses (but not always)

 

[milktea]

hi i was wondering if i want to do actuarial and computer science combined at UNSW, should i apply for b commerce or b commerce/b science?

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

commerce/science, which should have the same cut off

 

[kt san]

hey cut off is 96...wow just go in with a 96.25
but i dun noe wat i wanna do with a b com/b arts
i think i noe wat majors i want
but i dun think i wat i can become
my only clue is on da spot interpreting (good pay)
but then i dun noe if financing is better
or international business?

 

[Minai]

hmm if u dont know, just pick accounting - its a good major that essentially guarantee's u a job - especially if u are a UNSW graduate

 

[zaijan_85]

meh accounting

 

[Minai]

out of all 3 core subjects in 1st year u have to do - accounting is probably the least boring. Economics was 'zzzzz' and Maths was just annoying

 

[santaslayer]

hey is there any point in applying for an honours year if u wanna major in accounting?...i heard ppl tell me that honours are useless for accounting?

 

[Minai]

Well, if u want to become an academic, then u need honours and masters
U can do an honours year out of interest, and to gain extra research skills. It would probably be most helpful if u worked in audit related positions.
But yeah, other than that, u may as well not do Honours for accounting

 

[@lbert3269]

Would honours for Finance or Marketing be worthwhile ?

 

[frazzle]

Commerce sound so scary, because everyone is doing accounting/finance... I really don't like that aspect of it, but I'm interested in Marketing. how similar/different are the majors?

I don't know much about commerce at all, because I've been set to do design (at CoFA). Now I want to do a combined degree with marketing and design, but i don't think that is possible *sigh*

is anyone doing, or does anyone want to do marketing?

any help here would be appreciated!

so what is international business like?....i'm looking at you minai! ..
