Commerce at Melbourne or Monash??
PLEASE HELP!!!

[TrueTears]

Have said this so many times in the every "UOM VS MONASH COMMERCE" thread, basically to summarise:

1. Undergraduate commerce: Same at Mon or UoM (that is if you're doing the common commerce majors, finance, economics etc).

2. Postgraduate studies: Masters/PhD etc -> melbourne >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> monash.

No decent advice can be given without some more information.
Things to repost with: distance from each uni, ATAR score (for dean's scholar programs and the such), intended major, double degree preference if any, preference to uni.

Keeping all things equal, I'd go to Melbourne for Commerce. I've heard great things about Melbourne Com.

Im curious purely on which uni offers a better commerce course with better opportunities? distance is equal, my atar was 97.25. im not interested in a double degree unless i get accepted into com/law. Additionally, is it better to do monash com/law or melbourne commerce undergrad and then law postgrad??

nah, for postgrad, melb is way better, is what he meant

[Hancock]

It depends. Mon Com/Law vs Melb Com/JD is virtually the same thing, but international perceptions of a JD may help you if you wish to work in the global arena. The downfall is that Com/JD is not guaranteed (unless 99.90+ for CSP or 99+ for FFP) and it takes 6 years, not 5.

eh they're the same, when I say same, I don't mean for every lecturer at Monash there is a similar one at uom or for every unit at monash there is an exact replica at uom, what I mean is both unis have about the same job prospects after undergrad, the comm course in both unis are very similar, and so on.

But it is extremely hard to compare the ENTIRE commerce degree b/w the 2 unis, you need to get more specific, ie what majors are you looking at? Say you're doing actuarial, then yes uom would be more beneficial than monash if you're not considering double degree. If say finance, then both unis are EXTREMELY similar in that regard, many of the professors teaching finance at uom have also taught at monash and vice versa, both unis also collaborate in research projects etc.

However if you are looking at postgrad, you would definitely want to do it at uom, there are many reasons for this which i won't bother getting into as it is major-specific.
