Probability and Statistics is actually an alternative way to satisfy your quantitative requirements (means you don't have to do Quantitative Methods 1 and some other 2nd-year quantitative subject).
You would probably take them in breadth. I assume it says P&S are not available in breadth because Melbourne Model is only catering for first year at the moment. P&S will probably open as breadth for 2009.

actuarial students treat them as core subjects rather than breadth, and it is compulsory for them.
So i thought they are just a special case to be able to do them.
and i didnt understand what u meant by an alternative way to satisfy your quantitative requirements,
Quantitative Methods 1 and 2 are compulsory, how do they get affected?
Collin Li:
Nah, the rules that apply to them also apply to you. It is the same course, otherwise they would have separated them. I'm not sure if they count them as part of their course. If they do, you should be able to do that as well.
QM1 and 2 are compulsory in order to satisfy your "quantitative requirements" of the BCom degree. However, you can alternatively choose to do Probability and Statistics instead. This will open up your pre-requisites to your actuarial subjects and it will make it no longer necessary to take QM1 and QM2, because your "quantitative requirements" will have been achieved. This is mentioned in the Commerce handbook, so it is an available alternative to all Commerce students.
joechan521:
i looked at the commerce handbook, and i think it meant actuarial students who do Probability and statistics dont need to do QM1 and 2. Cos many finance subjects all required QM1 and 2 as prerequisites, anyway thx for your help coblin, i'll prob ask some people on enrollment day
Kopite:

i dont think so, because for accounting u must have bus law, taxation law and corporation law as breadth. there won't be enough room for another engineering sequence
