B commerce/law at UNSW. (1 Viewer)

[fantasia]

i'm just wondering if i do B commerce/law at UNSW, will it be the same as the actuarial studies / law course offered at Macq?

i plan to do Commerce/law at UNSW but major in actuarial studies. Still works right?

In the basic sense, yes, it's the same because you do both Law and Actuarial studies in both combined degrees

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

There are a few important differences though

actl law at macquarie is over 6 years and allows you to get part 1 exemptions along with your degree.

at UNSW, it is like all the other combined law programs and is done over 5 years and as you will be doing all law subjects in your 4th and 5th year, you will only be able to do 7 out of the 9 exemption subjects. You'll need to sit external exam for the 2 subjects u missed. ...unless of course you are crazy and overload your program somehow...

I have a friend that's overloading every session, since shes finishing her Actuarial/Law degree in 4 years instead of 5...thats crazy enough, so I guess anything's possible

ah i see. so how long will it take to complete the final two subjects for actuarial studies? the external exam that is.

edit: on another note are there chicks doing actuarial studies @ UNSW?

isnt it male dominated?

I think its actually about half half

as with all things, its about quality not quantity. suffice it to say, actuarial studies is lacking in both areas ....unless ur a fob den its ur kinda paradise

My sister who did actuarial studies at Macquarie Uni said that it just tends to be fobs who do actuarial studies - she was one of the only non-asians doing it

neither did I
there are about 5 or 6 'normal' Actuarial/Law students in 2nd year right now

so what... the rest are freaks? what are the students who do actuarial studies like? intraverted maths geeks?

There's a mix of personalities in the department.

Actl+law at UNSW .....
-> you would need to read up alot of maths on your own...
-> but then it's not just maths... you would need to learn VBA by yourself.

What is it about actuarial science? why did it become so popular?

hyped up by brainwashed hsc students, like combined law and med... i reckon actl/law at macq will go over 99.4 next yr...

they aren't freaks, they are simply very intelligent people - you cant simply be hardworking on its own.

eg, maniacguy overloads, and teaches 2nd yr actl tutes
