B Business/B Commerce vs B Business/B Economics (1 Viewer)

[-matty-]

Considering doing either B Business/B Commerce or B Business/B Economics at Newcastle Uni next year. If anyone has done either of these, can they help me out on the pros/cons of these courses?

Subjects I'm doing:
3u Maths
Business Studies
Economics
Legal Studies
Adv English

Thanks

Matt

If you want to leave open the possibility of becoming a CA then you'll need BCom (I don't think BBus at Newcastle makes the course requirements).

If not, then I don't think it will make much of a difference at all. Look at the subjects offered by each course and choose depending on your interests.
