Hiii everybody, so I’m commencing USYD Commerce with a double major in business info system (bis) and design (which is seemingly UX-centred), although I'm having doubts about wether or not it's worth it.
I've heard many people say business information systems at USYD is a waste, especially since it doesn't teach "technical" skills. I also chose design because I'm somewhat interested in UX areas (was also initially planning on doing Interaction Design at USYD).
I guess my main concern is that doing a single business degree may not be worth it, especially in regards to maintaining a competitive edge. I'd imagine UX roles would favour students studying the full-fledged interaction degree, meanwhile I've heard bis is "fluffy"(hence potentially making getting internships/experience harder). I'm also not sure if its a waste to pair two majors that may not relate to each other (basically have no idea if design and bis mesh well together).
Overall, I think simply doing a business/IT double at UTS would be better (especially since I'd actually learn more programming and it open a wider range of opportunities) but I chose USYD instead (mostly) due to a scholarship ($8500 per year), which I'm starting to regret. Also USYD doesn't have an IT degree, it has computing which I'm not interested in studying.
sorry this is moreso a rant lol, any input would be greatly appreciated
