All the finance subjects you listed are the 'hard' onces, except for small business finance which I've never heard anything about. I did quite well in options and the content wasn't too difficult so maybe that. IMM is apparently dirt easy too (no final exam) especially if you do it with friends...

There's really no difference between USYD/UNSW/Melb from an employer's perspective (IMO) - if you plan on working in Australia I would go USYD/UNSW because most IBs are in Sydney and it might give you a slight edge around interview time because you're already based in Sydney. Out of UNSW/USYD...

Risk free rate is the shortest term government security as this has less risk than a longer term bond. If you're evaluating a project though or using CAPM to calculate the cost of equity for corporate finance, I would use 15yr bond yield.

I don't mean to start an e-fight, but I find it hard to believe MQ is harder than UNSW (don't know about USYD). I've seen assessments first hand for equivalent subject I've done at UNSW. Anyway, not going to say more on the topic. I don't think anyone considers Macquarie's "Double Degree" of...

Macquarie is not rigorous at all - the stories I've heard first hand from people that attend there make me think the whole G8 vs non-G8 argument has some weight to it. UTS, I assume, must be harder, although compared to UNSW I would say it's softer but I can't tell you how much (don't know)...

Don't worry about CPA - chances are very strong you'll do CA, so just plan your studies around qualifying for that.

Stfu You only need basic operations and algebra (e.g. x + 3 = 7) for accounting. It's basically a logical process and once you 'get' the process it will be easy.

1) Australia does not have a 'popular' education system globally, like how every one knows what Harvard or Cambridge is - no one will know what UNSW is. 2) Just like I don't know the states of pretty much any country outside of Australia but some from the USA, no one else will know the states...

The subject you're describing is QMA - Commerce people don't have to do it anymore, just Economics. Every one has to do a statistics subject like the one you did (referring to UNSW)

I should admit that I was also wtf'ing at accounting 1A/1B but I think that was a function of the amount of time I spent studying (<1hr/week/subject) than it being overly difficult - now I just get cut I didn't D/HD them to be honest. Sorry if I come off as arrogant, my main point is that if you...

Like accounting is so hard? Anyway, Accounting/Finance are the hardest commerce/business majors, the rest are pretty easy considering the low amount of contact hours + wrote learning aspect. Although since accounting/finance are more numbers orientated you don't run the risk (as much) of being...

What institution is this? Macquarie? Business/Commerce are usually degrees and you choose majors/minors when completing them. Management is (usually) a major. Anyway, which ever course has the least math subjects would be the easiest.

I meant they space their actuarial subjects out even more by doing both a finance and economics major as opposed to the 'hard core kids' that only do finance :P

I know people that do comm/eco to space out their actuarial subjects (and because econometrics is easy to them).

I disagree. I think a lot of people have a poor work ethic first year, which they pick up later. A 75 wam is doable first year if you put in the work, even an 85WAM. 1st year subjects are the easiest subjects!

Maybe I was asking which people you heard talking? I'd appreciate it if you could edit your post though, I usually PM OP's my answer but it's late and I slipped up. Thanks Yes finance has more maths than accounting but the maths is just plugging in numbers to formulas - nothing exceptionally...

Finance if you want to be a rich banker. Note requires getting great marks. Accounting if you want to take the safe route.

Re: is my father right - how much of a factor is the 'reputation' of the uni? usyd vs ....Have your balls even dropped yet? You're taking my words WAY out of context. Sorry if I don't appreciate your view of the world when you haven't even finished high school. As to your example, notice the...

Re: is my father right - how much of a factor is the 'reputation' of the uni? usyd vs All else being equal, going to USYD over UTS cannot be a bad thing - it may not benefit you but you will never be disadvantaged, which *could* happen if you went to UTS over USYD and ended up competing for the...
