Title: BCom (Major: Accounting & Finance) + DipLang?
Post by: ice_blockie on January 28, 2009, 06:03:18 pm
Hey, I've been thinking of doing this but I'm not sure if it is possible to do in 3 years time:
-Major in BOTH accounting and finance
-Meet all accreditation requirements for CA
-Complete Diploma of Languages (French)

So with all the stuff to do, it is academic suicide or perfectly logical and simple???? Does anyone have a similar course plan?

EDIT: I've seen the Diploma in Maths thing post but I'm not sure if this is similar or not...

Wow. How did you  meet the requirements of CA and still do finance, it's impossible with breadth.

You miss like business process anaylsis (finance 1) and stuff.

Add to that the fact that you will need to do 316-317 Econometrics means that its only really possible if you do math as breadth.

According to student adviser & faculty head, you don't have to do Finance 1 to major in Finance if you're doing accounting major as well :)

Is it a prereq ??? I thought that was only for if you want to do honours in finance? or accounting?

Yeah the JD was good pre Melb Model when it used to be taught by "prac-ademics" - actual legal practitioners. Now with no more LLB, those career academics who used to teach the LLB are gonna teach the JD, and most of the prac-academics will teach the Masters courses
