BCom (Melb) 2008 Cohort

[Kopite]

oi peeps. can i still major in accounting, if my breadth subjects are be taken up with engineering subs?? cos i intend to do a masters of chemical engineering after my BComm. thx

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

oh ok. finance it is then.

thx alot brendan,
i'm only going to do 3 years, so i dont need to do
620-301 Stochastic Modelling (breadth) and
620-302 Chance and Options Pricing (breadth) yeah??
cos i wanted to do some other breadth,
also,is
300-316 Models for Insurance and Finance* really worth getting?
and what do i miss out by not doing quantitative methods 1 and 2

btw i dont think they have
620-121 Mathematics A (Advanced) and
620-123 Applied Mathematics next year
its changed to
620-157 Mathematics 1 and 620-158 Mathematics 2

nah you need them for breadth, if you do want to do honours then you can just delete the honours part.

[joechan521]

i meant can i put other breadth subjects in that space instead, they aren't required for anything yeh

[brendan]

i meant can i put other breadth subjects in that space instead, they aren't required for anything yeh

wtf Mathematics 1 have 4 hours of lecture+ 2 hours of tut = 6hours per week, wtf

and probability/statistics needs 5 hours/week,  QM1/2 only 3hours/week
i have some serious consideration to decide whether i want to touch actuarial

no trust me, you would rather go down the maths 1/2 and prob/stats route because that way you satisfy the quantitative requirement and the breadth requirement at the same time! 2 birds with one stone!

Anyway you could always change your mind after you finish your first year.

ic what u mean, but i want to do a language for breadth too, can i do 8 breadth rather than 6?
but if i do 8 breadth and to satisfy both quantitative + breadth requirements with prob/stat, it would be no difference from doing QM and 6 breadth
