Melb vs Monash

[methodsman]

Choose Melbourne if you want the best quality education. You can't do double degrees, but if you do one degree after another it takes about the same time, sometimes a year longer.

No it doesnt...

if you wanted an single undergraduate degree anyway you most likely wouldn't do another undergraduate degree just after finishing your previous one. You would most likely want to do a post graduate degree or honours.

well if you didn't want two undergraduate degrees you wouldn't do a double degree.

Yes you would, because an Arts/Commerce double degree for example lasts 3 years, whilst doing Arts then Commerce takes 6.

Arts\Commerce takes 4 years, and doing one after the other would take 5 years at most.

If your talking about Melbourne...its not 5 years, its 6. So I rather take the 4 year double degree than waste 2 more years of my life.

really? email them

ummm no, Im not going to email them, because I dont really give a shit. but anyway, the website says that arts is 3 years and commerce is 3 years. So doing one after the other is 6 maybe? I dont know, maybe its their error.

I think he means you can get credit for already doing a degree before which makes the 2nd degree quicker to finish. Still besides the point. Takes longer and people don't do that (often)

It's pretty much the exact same thing

Do you mind being forced to do 25% of your course in areas of study that have nothing to do with Commerce?

This is not necessarily the case. For example, I'm doing Business Law, Corporate Law and Tax Law all as breadth. I would argue they have a lot of relevance to Commerce? Furthermore, I did economic history as a breadth last year, and my remaining ones are property market subjects.

So, that comment isn't completely true.

WTF WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING BREADTH SUBJECTS

THEY ARE FORCING ME TO DO THREE COMPULSORY ACCREDITATION SUBJECTS IN LAW AND THREE BUSINESS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SUBJECTS

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR OTHER 799 DECENT POSTS

Relax cheif!

Wasn't 'defending' them as such, just pointing out it's not really as bad as doing 25% of your degree that have absolutely nothing to do with Commerce. Don't get me wrong I'd rather not do them, but you'd have to do those law subjects anyway no? So realistically it's only 3. Meh whatev.

I blame the Melbourne Model myself.

Blerghhh....not true.

For those of you who want to undertake two bachelors degrees at UOM, your second degree can be done in two years as you are granted 100 points of credit( or the equivalent of one EFTSL). This is subject to completing all prerequisites to be awarded the degree in question.
