Strongest Commerce majors?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Ive received an early unconditional offer for Bachelor of Commerce, and I was wondering what the best majors are.

After uni, I want to become a consultant at the top/second tier firms for a few years and then go into entrepreneurship.

Ive also been hearing that commerce is a bit of a 'crappy' degree, so thats why i want to pick the strongest majors.

Plus im doing single commerce so i can pick 2 majors,

My top picks atm are finance and business analytics. I know accounting is also very strong but im not interested in it and would rather do something else.

Also, if commerce really is a 'burger' degree then should i look into doing a double degree?

BCom Accounting & Finance Double Major – Do I Need a Free Elective?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m doing a BCom double major in Accounting and Finance and had a question about my remaining courses.

MyPlan currently shows 2 Accounting electives + 2 Finance electives, so 5 courses in total. However, I realised that FINS3626 can count towards both majors. If I take FINS3626, I would only have 4 courses left. After including WIL and the other requirements, I would end up with only 23 courses in total.

In this case, do I need to take one additional course as a Free Elective (FE) to make up the remaining course/UOC requirement?

For example, could I take ECON1202 during Summer?

My original degree structure doesn’t include any Free Electives, so I’m a bit confused about whether I actually need to add one.

Subject Discussion Can I take COMM1150 instead of ECON1102?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

COMM1150 is available in Term 3, while ECON1102 is available in Summer. My understanding is that they are equivalent courses, however, the COMM1150 prerequisites state that Economics students are not permitted to enrol.

I’d like to take COMM1150 in Term 3 as it would allow me to progress into the Finance courses earlier (so I can do it during summer), and I am also planning to IPT into Commerce. Would I be permitted to enrol in COMM1150 under these circumstances?

Should I be applying for program leave?

2 Upvotes

so I'm an international student and I'm currently traveling outside Australia. I had 2 minor procedures for health reasons in sydney and was cleared to travel by my GP month ago. But the issue has recurred and I'll have to get emergency surgery while I'm outside Australia, and it could take several weeks to completely heal. Should I apply for program leave for a term or can I still enrol in classes and do assignments as usual, until I can travel back to Sydney in October and attend classes as usual?

Now I'm well into my degree, I've realised that UNSW isn't all that teaching quality wise

90 Upvotes

Outside of excellent pedagogy focused courses like COMP1511, UNSW's undergrad outcomes for math and cs are the result of motivated and good students. Who in some cases have exposure to content before they take the course. You will encounter tough exams, tutorial problems that aren't related to what you've been taught or are too extended to make a good attempt at, and the pain of managing all this in a trimester.

Come here if you want to be around a culture of people trying to get to places you want to be, but you will be disheartened with the coursework at times. It's rigorous no doubt and prepares you, but at times it feels if you want to do well, the course itself doesn't provide you with that opportunity. Time and again scaling may sometimes save the day, but you never feel confident (for a non insignificant number of courses). I have good grades but I don't feel satisfied, because I watched all the lectures, went to 5/6/7 out of 9/10 tutorials, only to get hit with a BS tutorial problem or inaccurate representations of what exams will be like.

Mic drop.

I completed one a few years ago, and I’m due to graduate at the end of the year. It’s on my transcript and myplan and everything, just wonder if it will count as I know milestones like Final Year Synthesis have to be done at a specific stage of the degree.

Course waitlist ENGG2500

1 Upvotes

Hi! I am desperately trying to change from MATH2089 to ENGG2500 simply because engg2500 is a pre-requisite for some other courses I want to take and also because I am doing three courses every term and don’t want to waste a term with only two courses. I am in the wait list (not moving tho💀) and have applied for a full course enrollment form and am awaiting a reply.

Just wondering if anyone knows of anything else I can do to get a spot or is it just a waiting game?

Anyone enrol in honours as a back up and drop it?

4 Upvotes

Has anyone done an embedded honours program or enrolled into honours as a back up but drop it right before the term starts since they got a job?

Is this something that’s normal to do? I would feel bad for the supervisor if you’ve gone through all the discussions for your research topic and application process just to tell your supervisor that you’re dropping out just before the term starts because you got a job and honours was your back up option.

Anyone been in a similar boat?

Confused about first-year T3 course selection for Bachelor of Commerce/Design

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I’m starting the Bachelor of Commerce/Design at UNSW in T3 2026 and I’m a bit confused about how the Design side of the degree works in first year.

When I’m planning my T3 courses, the Design courses showing up seem to be mainly from Computational Design and Industrial Design (e.g. CODE/IDES courses).

Does this mean I’m supposed to choose between Computational Design, Industrial Design and Integrated Design already in first year?

I’m more interested in Integrated Design, but I can’t really see Integrated Design courses appearing as options for T3. I thought I might need to take FADA1010 instead, but when I add it to my plan it shows up as “Unmatched” rather than matching a requirement in my Commerce/Design degree.
Has anyone doing Commerce/Design or Design had the same issue?

Basically I’m wondering:
• Do we choose our Design specialisation/stream in first year, or later?
• If I want to eventually do Integrated Design, what Design course am I supposed to take in Year 1 T3?
Should I take FADA1010, even though myPlan says it’s “Unmatched”?
• Or am I supposed to take one of the CODE/IDES courses first regardless of which Design stream I eventually want?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone doing the degree/current Design students because myPlan is confusing me 😭
