Title: UNSW VS USYD COMMERCE
Post by: infectmarshroom on July 04, 2019, 01:45:50 am
Hey!
Looking to do commerce (finance)at either usyd or unsw. As a second major  I have noticed that there is a banking major at usyd that isn’t offered at unsw. Are the units under the major covered in another major or is it an outright separate major to anything that unsw has?

Also what are some pros and cons of finance between the unis. If at unsw what would be a good second major?

There honestly is no significant difference between the two options here. All the differences are in minor ways in which the degrees are run, that have no impact whatsoever on your employability.

At UNSW, there is a School of Banking and Finance. This would suggest that any course (subject) perhaps more related to banking would still be under the finance category anyway.

And still, all majors are good second majors. You'll find out what majors you actually would [b[want[/b] to go for once you're at uni. You should pick your second major once you're there, instead of make some hasty decision right now whilst you haven't experienced it at all yet.

(There's nothing wrong with, say, heavily wanting to do finance as your first major. But nobody can give you a informed opinion tailored to you about any choice of major, until you're actually there.)
