A friend of mine got a UAI of 92.3 and he wanted to do Commerce@Usyd. Basically he is wondering what the difference between Commerce and Economics is for first year, and how hard it is to transfer. Like are the requirements still 50% UAI and a distinction average? And how many places do usually actually open up after first year?

the difference between commerce and economics is that in economics you gain the professional recognition as an economist and that you have to have a major in a strand of economics, econometrics or economic history! whereas with commerce, you can major in anything from the faculty. to trasnfer to anything within the econ+bus faculty, you need a d average.

ecos just means economics and econometrics are compulsory units of study, which means more maths

with commerce, u can still study those units, but u get a comm degree, as opposed to an ecos degree.
