Business @ UTS is heaps better than Comm @ Macq. I was contemplating the same thing as you and decided that UTS was better.

The business course at UTS comes with professional recognition with your majors or sub majors.
EG. Major in accounting will be recognised by CPA as meeting university criteria.

That's not the case at Macq. At Macq the Comm course doesn't have any professional recognition by the various institutes. For professtional recognition you have to transfer into a specialised degree....EG Comm - Accounting ....or like Applied Finance.

IT''s all up to you and how you feel about the place....if you dont like it, then simple...dont go...

Accounting major (MAJ08437)
The Accounting major builds upon the core subjects to develop the knowledge, skills, values and other intellectual attributes needed by current and future accountants. This major satisfies the university education requirements of CPA Australia and The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.

Students intending to enrol in the Accounting major must complete the foundation core subjects 22207 Accounting Transactions and Business Decisions and 25300 Fundamentals of Business Finance (or their pre-2001 equivalents) in order to meet the requirements of the major.

As part of the Accounting major, Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Laws (C10125) students may undertake 70417 Corporate Law instead of 79014 Applied Company Law, and 76212 Revenue Law instead of 79017 Taxation Law.

Students should note that CPA Australia will not, in principle, accept Conceded Passes in subjects required by them. However, CPA Australia will accept a Conceded Pass in a first- or second-year subject, provided that a further subject in the same subject area has been passed. Further information can be obtained from CPA Australia.

Ok then from my previous post

"This major satisfies the university education requirements of CPA Australia and The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia."

Basically it just backs up what big ticket was saying.

I got that information from the Faculty of Business Handbook. There would most likely be one for Macquarie as well but you should be able to find it yourself. :)

i was looking for a career in possibly E-business (although im not sure).. was i wrong to choose only the single degree and major in IT and E-Business (or something like that)..

should i have gone for a double??? i thought the structure of this course was pretty solid though..
