Business is kinda just a random major - no specific subjects. You can't double major with business.

could i major in marketing..and take up other random subjects, provided i meet prerequsites? is business regarded as useful? lol. i have no other way to put it :)

That would mean you'd only major in marketing. You're not allowed to double major with business.
-
Don't know what to do... what you guys think about actuarial studies?
Help me out guys
-
you get cashed up, but it is hard
-
Exactly how hard it is?
-
i've heard that the drop out rate for the first year is pretty high. although if you like maths and have a passion for it, it would be a good to consider it
-
Ohh ok then... i guess if it doesn't work I'll drop out by first year. I will have time to complete another major in 2nd and 3rd year right?

Yeah, fair few students do that.
-
I got a 95.35 and didn't get in. :(
Seeing as the clearly-in is 95.45 anyone think I have any chance of getting a 2nd round offer?
Thats harsh, guessing you didn't have Seas

If you don't have SEAS than no.
The Melbourne model is stupidly stupid like that.

Business majors is reasonably useful, but essentially it's essentially two subject from each of three different majors. Personally i think would be more beneficial to jsut do a double major in two specific disciplines
Don't know what to do... what you guys think about actuarial studies?
Help me out guys
It's good, and so far the maths subjects have been the hardest part, not the actuarial subjects. It's a good, employable major but it is challenging. You can very easily change out of the major and switch into virtually any other major you want after 1st year and into a finance/economics major after second year if you course plan smartly so defs give it a go and see how you go with it.
-
what's the 'difficulty' of economics? lots of maths? i dunno.. i've never considered it before...marketing/economics a job major? what that lead to any jobs? haha..i wanna be an art or marketting director :D
-
econometrics seem to involve a whole lot of maths, economics less so.
That's cause ur going to have a lot of formulas for business statistics in
econometrics.

There will be lots more maths if you did it academically though (like masters, PhD etc).

everyone seems to be doing accounting and finance :O would finance and marketing be a strange combo? or should marketing be done with management?
-

haha, you'll find an inordinate proportion of people (basically everyone asian) does accounting/finance. Really there are no 'strange' combos, just do what you enjoy, it will lead you to a job you enjoy, no point picking majors if you're not going to enjoy it! Also i know plenty of people tha are planning to mix management or marketing with another major, there is nothing that forces you to do them together, although that generally is the norm

SEAS/access Melbourne this year has become a little unfair imo
-
would finance and marketing be a strange combo?
Sounds very reasonable to me.
So does Finance/Management
It has been explained to me that not doing accounting gives up on some traditional areas of employment but leaves open other more ambitious plans, particularly if you plan to continue with a Master of Engineering or a JD etc
.
-
ooo okok :) haha that's more reassuring cus everyone that I know that got into Bcomm seems to be going for acc/finance.

Question, say I want to do masters of engineering, does that mean because of the breadth subjects required, I can't do a double major in Commerce?

+1
Also if you are able to do a double major (finance/acc or finance/eco) would there be any spare units at all after taking into consideration the engineering sequence? - I was thinking that it might depend on what majors you are are doing and which eng sequence cos some of them have overlapping units.
How da heeeeelll do you use the handbook? I search a keyword i.e. finance and nothing comes up... :s

With the double major with the eng breath sequence (i assume it is six subjects?) then in third year you would not have a any spare units but you should have a few in first/second year if you only do the compulsory subjects. Having said that, if you want to get as muhc accreditiation for the CA (accounting) qualification as possible it would not be possible while doing a 6-subject breath sequence as you need to take specific breath subjects and take more accounting subjects than strictly necessary for the major.

Damn all engineering requires 8-10 breadth subjects, so that means you cannot do double.... so the question now is, should I do a double major, or a single major with engineering breadths?

That's strange..did you use quicksearch and select 'all entry types'? It should definitely work.

Well what type of job do you want to go into? i.e. why do the eng in the first place? (don't answer it now, for you to think about) either way, start off with doing everything, then see what you like more and then drop what you don't
