    Enrolling in actuary classes

    I study Actl Studies / Commerce myself. And, looking back at my first year of study in hindsight, there's nothing really I would have changed tbh. Well that's a very unusual idea. Personally, I wouldn't do FINS1612 in first semester at all, because if you don't end up doing a finance major...

    Dropping out

    That's separate to the census date. There's another deadline later in the semester, before which you must drop the course, otherwise you get the academic fail on the transcript. For example, for this semester, according to UNSW website - Semester 1 T1 deadline to drop WITHOUT academic penalty...

    Dropping out

    Correct - "At census date, all UNSW students are financially liable for courses they are enrolled in for that Teaching Period. If you withdraw from any course before midnight on the relevant census date you will not be financially liable for that course. If you are approved to withdraw from a...

    Math1141/math1151

    Some of the content in MATH1141 that is covered in Maths Ext 1 is not explicitly taught in MATH1151 and just regarded as assumed background knowledge. Also, even though MATH1141/1241/1151/1251 seem to end up covering the same topics, in each topic, further applications and extended knowledge is...

    Enrolling in actuary classes

    It really comes down to interest tbh, in my eyes. If you have the interest and hence wish to get more exposure to commerce areas such as Accounting and Finance, then combining with Commerce is the way to go. Similarly, if you wish to learn more about higher mathematics and statistics, then...

    Postponing Timetabling

    Regardless of which actuarial studies double degree program you do, for example, you HAVE to study MATH1151 this semester. So I would suggest picking your lectures + tutorials for MATH1151, and then once you have chosen what your other degree will be, you can pick your lectures + tutorials for...

    Economics Topic Order?

    Most schools teach the syllabus in order. However, a handful of schools teach Topic 3, Topic 4, Topic 1 then Topic 2.

    Buses to UNSW

    Yassssssss this is what I do as well!! *hi-5* Get to central at like 12:30 in the first few weeks, just to be on the safe side, and you should be able to make your 1pm lecture comfortably Well, all these express buses only accept prepaid tickets and Opal. You won't be able to buy tickets on...

    Timetablers other than Bojangles?

    Maybe try making up timetable options manually yourself, like on Excel or something.

    Tutorial before lecture ?

    Nope, because the tutorial will be about material covered in the previous week's lecture.

    Enrolling in actuary classes

    Choosing between MGMT1001 and FINS1613 for Semester One of Year One of an actuarial degree has been a topic extensively debated in other threads on BOS. I personally did MGMT1001 in Semester One, and I believe it was the right decision. Hence, I recommend first years to do MGMT1001 in Sem One...

    Buses to UNSW

    It's not that bad anymore, after Transport NSW increased the frequency of buses in late 2015. In first week or so, expect a wait time of fifteen to twenty minutes. But as the semester progresses, expect wait times of five to ten minutes. Also, note that wait times significantly depend on the...

    Few Qs

    I'll make it short and sweet: 1) Depends on the degree you're doing and how you plan out your degree. But you should be able to easily fit in the electives of the finance major into your duration of study - the degree is designed so it can be fit in lol. 2) General consensus is 1613, then...

    FINS1612 or FINS1613 Sem 1?

    First of all, if you search up "FINS1613" on BOS, you'll find an overall consensus along the lines of: However, as noted by many BOSers: So, long story short, it is indeed preferable to complete FINS1613 in Semester One. Now, as for the question of doing 1612 or 1613 first - from what I can...
