Sup everyone.
For some reason yesterday at the UNSW open day I forgot to ask one important question regarding the course I want to do.
The question is directed towards students who are doing Bachelor of commerce at UNSW
and the question is
"How many days to you go to uni and how long do you go for? i.e. total number of days and hours for this course."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on how you set up your timetable. Commerce has lots of electives so it really depends on what other subjects you pick.

From what I've heard from people I've talked to, its around 12 hours a week.
And the days just depend on how you pick your timetable, cos unsw is very flexible and have heaps of classes/lectures for each subject, because so many people to do it.

I even talked to people who just fit all their classes into one day, 9am to 9pm, then had a 6 day weekend

most people do three days but you do less if you're lucky, and it is 12 contact hours: 4 subjects with a two hour lecture and one hour tute.

It just means there's a lot less contact hours but in theory you're meant to be doing self study.

The reality is that most graduate jobs in the Commerce space rely on your non-academic contributions whether it be society work, work experience, charity, etc... and increasing the amount of contact hours doesn't necessarily improve your employability or suitability for a graduate role.

Also note, as you progress throughout your degree, your timetable flexibility diminishes rapidly. That is, whilst it may have been easy to schedule it all into one day or two in first year, it becomes a lot less flexible when you're doing electives in your final year. If you plan on doing online general education courses, save them for later.
