What uni you off to? (1 Viewer)

laziness over any instincts ...

 

[sif not 99]

ended up choosing commerce (liberal studies) at sydney universitiy

lets me do my economics and finance majors as well as be a bit artsy at the same time to fit in a history (or similar) major as well

four years against 5 years for com/arts which is pretty usefull and i still do 3 majors

as for law i find it pretty boring atm so i dont think uni will spruce it up some for me

I wanted to do Commerce (liberal Studies) initially but then i decided that beacuse my UAI wasn't high enough (95.45) that Commerce/Arts was for me....it's only year extra plus i get two degrees!!!

i on the other hand was gonna do commerce liberal studies, but now that i have the uai 4 it ive decided that i dont wanna do it nemore i liked the idea of doing science n arts w/ commerce, but ultimately i wanted 2 have a career in straight-out finance so i thought that doing extra wud b pointless

I chose commerce/arts (and economics/arts) coz I wanna do 2 commerce/eco majors and a language major from arts, and coz my UAI was never gonna be high enough for liberal..

Ok this is from the Usyd economics and business brochure!!!

" The Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies) is a relatively small, elite program combining specialisations in business with communications studies and an interdisciplinary breadth across the arts and sciences"

4 years full-time
UAI cut off: 96.80

I bet you would've. . .so you previosuly never heard of such course??? But you can only do 2 units from science faculty and 4 units from the arts faculty in first year and then you could choose mathematics (since you'r good at it) as your second major!!!

Nup, I never heard of it, oh well, I'm happy with the course that I'm doing, should still be good.

if that's true i'm surprised the uai isn't higher- or maybe there just isn't a huge demand
