Should I do commerce (proffessional accounting) at Macquarie or ANU (commerce).

Should I do commerce (proffessional accounting) at Macquarie or ANU (commerce).

I know that I will not get a great ATAR so I cant go to Usyd or Unsw.

For commerce (accounting) and (marketing) would Australian National University (ANU) be better or Macquarie University?

I heard that Macquarie University is the best for commerce (accounting) so maybe I should go there?

Macquarie does have a really good commerce (accounting) program. But, if you are considering ANU, does that mean you are down at Canberra? And are you planning on doing your CA/CPA afterwards?

Macquarie is fine unless you really want to move to Canberra?

Agreed. Macq has a great business faculty. No need to move all the way down to Canberra just to pursue a course that seems more prestigious. (I don't know much about the quality of ANU's business faculty)

4 x 2hr lectuers
4 x 1hr tutorial

Give or take an hour or two. You can get it down to 4-5 hours a week if you skip the lectures.

I've never seen my statistics lecturer. I had classes conflict, so I just listened to the lectures later.

B commerce vs B commerce/B economics

Is it worth the extra year to get an economics degree?


And I am not planning to work in the economics field

I just thought it would complement my degree and I would have better job opportunities.

abbeyroad has a point, consider what field you actually want to get into and whether the economics will add to your skills/knowledge etc as opposed to spending that year doing an internship or something else involving work experience. Also, I presume you chose economics because you are interested in it?

The most important part is because it extends your degree by a year, it gives you two opportunities to apply for internships; second year and third year.

Also, it gives you an extra year to improve your work experience in relevant fields and build your ECs.

As an example, you can get a big 4 internship in second year, and then in third year you move to an IB internship with a bulge bracket bank. (GS, JP, UBS, etc) So essentially, it allows you to experience two fields during your university life.

What are you looking for? What major did you want to choose? And do you already live in Canberra?

For bachelor of commerce (international) do you have to study major a language?

I was wonderingif I could major in accounting and marketing and go on an exchange program without majoring in the internation studies area.
