you don't even have to go to the lab classes anyway, nor do you have to go to the lectures. its not like high school.

[joechan521]

but still, its better to go to the lectures, and the 4 lectures per week is all on different days, if they put it together i would be happier

[Collin Li]

Keeps you active in your maths too (which you're good at)

[joechan521]

lol, i havent touched maths since vce, feels like i forgot all of it, haha

[joechan521]

i made this sample plan, can u check if its acceptable? thx
year 1
sem1: Mathematics 1/ intro to micro/ intro to macro/ accounting reports and analyais
sem2: mathematics 2/ finance 1/ chinese 4b/ accounting transactions and analysis

year 2
sem1: bus finance/ probability/ financial maths 1/ chinese 5a
sem2: organ. behavior/ statistics/ financial maths 2/ chinese 5b

year 3
sem1: deriv. securities/ model insurance and finance/ corporate finance/ investments(or financial maths3, cos can only do 1 from those 2)
sem2: international finance/ asia capital markets/ xxxx breadth/ xxxx core elective

I don't think you can do Introductory Macroeconomics at the same time as Introductory Microeconomics (nor do I think it is offered in semester 1). Cut out Finance 1, because ARA and ATA already fulfil your pre-requisites. Finance 1 is not important, it is general knowledge. Replace it with Introductory Macroeconomics, and take something else in first semester, I guess (perhaps another breadth?).

Sorry, I don't understand how breadth works, can you move your breadth places around freely (and how many do you have)?

micro and macro are offered both semesters, i don't see why can't i do both in sem1, also i think breadth can be moved around freely, as long as you meet the pre-req of the breadth.
and must have a third year breadth.

total of 6 or 8 breadth subjects can be taken

[Collin Li]

Oh, I see. But you don't fulfil the pre-requisites: https://app.portal.unimelb.edu.au/CSCApplication/view/2008/316-101

Pre-requisite: 316-102 Introductory Microeconomics

Finance 1 runs in semester 1, so you can just swap them

[brendan]

HEre:

Semester 1
306-107 Accounting Reports and Analysis*
XXX-XXX Mathematics 1* (breadth)
316-102 Introductory Microeconomics*
333-101 Finance 1
Semester 2
XXX-XXX Mathematics 2* (breadth)
306-108 Accounting Transactions and Analysis*
316-101 Introductory Macroeconomics*

year 3

sem2: international finance/ asia capital markets/ xxxx breadth/ xxxx core elective

dude you need 316-317 Econometrics !! you don't have to make up your mind now, but 316-317 Econometrics is important. more important than "model insurance and finance"

so here is a sample 3rd year program given the subjects u seem to be interested in

3rd year
Sem 1
620-301 Stochastic Modelling* (breadth)
300-334 Financial Mathematics III*
316-317 Econometrics*
333-303 International Finance
Semester 2
300-316 Models for Insurance and Finance*
333-302 Corporate Finance
333-309 Derivative Securities
333-304 Asian Capital Markets

[Collin Li]

You can take Corporate Finance in Semester 2 I believe.

[joechan521]

LOlz so you are gonna do actuarial studies? that makes it simple then:
http://www.bcom.unimelb.edu.au/bachelor/actuarial_studies.html

everything is planned out for you!

you will have exactly 4 chinese subjects, and the chinese subject in 3rd year MUST be in semester 1.

[joechan521]

yeah i know, and put my chinese into the non-maths breadth, that table got it all

how can i have 4chinese subjects? The table only showed 5 breadth subjects, thats not enough for 75 points yeh?
btw, is there a 3rd year chinese subject?
