- Thread starter ToO LaZy ^*
- Start date
its basically the same as BComm except:ToO LaZy ^* said:
- u have to do a major from the Economics: Economics, FInancial Economics or Economic History
- u have the option to major in Asian Studies....for wat reason, i dont know...better just to do Arts or International Business
- u cant do Actuarial Studies
ALso, the difference between HSC and Uni Economics is that HSC requires u just to learn the txtbook...University Economics is more conceptual. It requires a fairly good understanding of the central ideas and their application to a variety of problems, so i guess u cant just remember essays off by heart eh!?
btw, actuarial sux......and a lot of BEco's strive to transfer into BComm cz of the flexibility...plus its just a whole lot better

"Target course: B commerce @UNSW (96) or @USYD (95.05)"

hmm..icic
but surely b. economics sounds more professional than b. commerce...i mean we did commerce in year 10
the only difference i see, is that commerce has a bit more flexibility..

hm..that confused me even more..now explain! :uhhuh:
First year B Com has 3 core subjects: quantative methods, accounting, economics (and an elective), which is exactly the same as B Economics. Its only in later years that you branch off into whatever.ToO LaZy ^* said:what do you mean when you say that core subjects count?...does that mean i don't have to do first year BCom because it was covered in BEc?

So yeah at the end of first year it you transfer from eco to commerce you've covered the first year (unless you want to change your elective, which you would, seeing as thats the reason you've changed to the comm degree)
But I think very few people actually bother to switch between the two.
You dont have to change your elective...ie if you wanted to do Accounting & Finance, but you only managed to get into B.Eco, you'd do the finance electives in 1st year, and then transfer to B.Com in 2nd year, which would leave you in exactly the same place as if you had done a B.Com in 1st year.x-y-z said:
I did this (did B.Eco in 1st year), didn't change my electives as they formed part of my major, so it's all sweet.
