is QM or intro micro counted as a core arts subject if you want to major in economics? because if it is then you will be able to do intro to maths as your breadth and the course advisor should let you do intro maths together with intro micro because the maths in intro micro is not that hard (not even maths based) and you would be completing a prerequisite at the same time.

Yeah, as far as most disciplines go (except adv. fin and act.) it's only stats. Not a biggy.

Don't do Arts if you don't like it, even if you wanted to transfer [heck I thought of that....] because you will not achieve a high average and it'll diminish your transferring opportunities.

 yeh, but as Roxii said, you only have to do one subject which at all resembles an "arts" subject. Course, it would depend on how easy it is to transfer, which i'm not sure of

I'm not 100% sure on the one "arts" subject thing yet
From what i've read on the course & subject handbook, this seems to be the case...
although it does say...
'There are restrictions as to how many non-Arts approved subjects can be taken in your degree. For details, see: link to Arts page policy on non-Arts approved subjects'

Edit.
ok, i've found the policy page...

4.2.4. Arts-approved subject requirement

The BA degree requires that you complete a minimum number of points in arts-approved subjects.

All of the subjects offered by Schools within the Faculty of Arts are arts-approved. However, some areas of study which may be taken in the BA are taught by other faculties within the University or other institutions. Only some of these subjects are arts-approved.

First year
At least 50 points of arts-approved subjects


Hmm, so it seems like you may need to do 2 artsy subjects per semester....
I'm sorry if i confused anyone. I am quite confused myself now LoL 
So yeah, i guess the best thing to do would be to maybe go to UoM open day and ask

If anyone wants to try reading and understanding the course requirements, here are a couple of links.

Getting 24 in methods would affect my ability to take up your proposed method of entry, wouldn't it Roxii? Cause some of the Com subjects that can be taken in 1st year require methods yeh?

Yeah, 316-130 Quantitative Methods (compulsory for BCom) requires you to have done VCE Methods and got a SS of 25 or above.

As nak said...there is a subject equivalent to vce methods which will satisfy the prerequisite requirement of Quantitive methods.

620-173 Introduction to Mathematics  =  "This subject is equivalent for pre-requisite purposes to VCE Mathematical Methods 3/4.

So if you want to take this path...
You can maybe do...
620-173 Introduction to Mathematics
316-102 Introductory Microeconomics (compulsory BCom subject)
and then one or two arts subjects...depending on the arts approved subject requirements, which i am not completely sure about atm

But if you are lucky, and you only need to do one 'arts' subject, then you may take another commerce subject! yay

And then, after first semester...TRANSFER TO BCOM~!!! 

[costargh]

Wow that sounds cool. But the decision is soo hard and risky :S

I agree~!!
I seriously dunno if i should put Arts @ UoM for my second pref or not
I'm just worried i may get stuck in the Arts course!! ahhhh
Hmm, i guess we should also find out what grade average we need to get...to be allowed to transfer from Arts to Commerce.

[costargh]

I agree with everything you said above.
 

No offense to Arts but its just not the course I would ever want to do. Commerce 4 me (L)

[*Roxxii*]

LOLS yepppp

COMMERCE FTW~!!!! yayyyyyy   :smitten:

[livelikeuwanna]

I wonder how hard it would be to transfer into commerce from arts.

[brendan]

I wonder how hard it would be to transfer into commerce from arts.

shouldn't be that hard if u get good grades

Oh man, I've heard arts is easy to pass but hard to get good grades.

[livelikeuwanna]

Hey it says on the melbourne uni website that it "will not be generally be possible to enter a New Generation degree with credit".
 
So would this mean that transferring into commerce at melb uni from another university is out of the question?

[ninwa]

Oh man, I've heard arts is easy to pass but hard to get good grades.

depends on the subject
