Finance/Actuarial is great with a Stats/Maths major from sci.

Apart from that, I think marketing would be complemented well with psych in the sci component of your degree aswell.

Also, if it's possible, you can get into the Adv Maths degree of Sci (so you would be doing Commerce/Science (Adv Maths)) and a major within that degree is Quantitative Risk. From what i've heard, the subjects you do within QR overlap a lot with finance.

This is all from a UNSW perspective though, i'm not sure how other uni's science degrees work.

I go to usyd and do comm/science. My majors in commerce are economics and finance and in science, financial mathematics and statistics. Pretty good combo.
From what I find, the finance in commerce is primarily theoretical work with a lot of judgement calls so the maths in science compliments it pretty well. And on top of that, I find that heaps of commerce students struggle with the maths side of things and seem to have forgotten almost everything from the hsc. So if you enjoy maths and do well in it I suggest you take up maths and stats, it'll give you an advantage over others with a straight commerce degree.

I thought double degree students cannot take more than one major for each degree

Is it true?

Where are you doing commerce/science course?

I read in UNSW handbook that students cannot take more than 1 majors when they are doing double degrees,especially for the commerce degree.

You can probably do more than one major each in other unis.




I do engo/ comm, none of the majors really match each other lol.

How many majors are you doing now and where?

I am planning to do engineering/commerce or science/commerce at UNSW (yeah,IB..LOL)
I'd like to do finance and accounting majors and also another major from engo or science but I don't think UNSW allow that.

I go to UNSW

for engo/ comm at UNSW you can do one major each for engg and commm or you can do a major and a minor in the comm component.

for comm /sci at UNSW I think it's one major each.
