Thanks :) There are other advantages which include: - u do maths instead of QMA and QMB for normal commerce students. maths is a good subject to do as you can do very well in it, and it provides a strong foundation for you to tackle the more technical finance and actuarial subjects. Doing...

It's way off from the peak.

Getting a high uai (98+) will help u transfer in 1st yr (not sure about later yrs). A distinction average also helps. Also, the law cutoffs have been falling over the yrs so expect more dumbasses to dropout. It also helps to choose subjects that count to both degrees so you don't waste any...

It's better just to do 1st yr Actuarial Studies at UNSW and then make up your mind. That way, you'll have touched on everything you wanted to do (eg. Accounting/Finance/Actuarial Studies), and you can also transfer into law for the following yr. Also, it will allow you to keep you cadetship...

Which place u working at?

Isn't VSU basically gonna chop the balls off all the student political bodies on campus?

When are the Math results released early?

Is this because most Commerce students are mathematically challenged (except for actuarial students)?

Affinity, does differential geometry have an commercial application?

No, it's more like portfolio mgmt.

BFM and WM are reputed to be shit easy. How about IMM, Options or Interest Rate Risk Mgmt?

Double degrees are also nice coz you actually get to do something fun/interesting apart from bland commerce.

A uni education is meant for you to gain the required foundation in knowledge to prepare you for further workplace learning, such as on-the-job learning and training, and other professional development courses, and to provide the right blend of skills to do your job properly. This background...

The breadth of knowledge depends on your choice of subjects. I know of many double degree students who specialise very early on by taking postgrad and honours level subjects, and they have that opportunity because they have spent a bit more time at uni, and have a lot more electives at their...

I disagree. By doing a combined degree, it takes less time to get an extra degree. For example, I'm doing Comm/Sci and it takes just another yr on the standard 3 yrs for me to pick up another Sci degree. Most employers don't really care what you have done in your degree, as long as you...
