USYD started one this year: http://sydney.edu.au/business/finance/apm

6-10 hours per day? Or 6-10 hours over the 2 days?

Amundies here. Doing mechanical engineering and commerce, majoring in finance. Keen for IPP this sem, as well as an internship I'll (hopefully) have at the end of this year in an engineering firm! In my 4th year out of a 5 year degree.

Can you get me a job there pls. What were your thoughts on the recruiting process that you went through? If you had to go through the recruiting process again, what would you do different either in interviews or in your preparation for interviews?

It's still hard to get (and more importantly, maintain) a HD though. Because to have a HD average you need consistency, which is the biggest problem most students have. And yeah, regarding WAM boosters it depends on you. Try and work out in your first year or semester if you're good at anything...

I know a fair amount of people who did 3u and found math1005 very hard. They didn't really like statistics though, so perhaps if you like stats it'd be more favourable for you. I don't really have any idea how math1013 is, so I can't really help you with that.

He told us what he was interested in. Anyway OP, since you're still tossing up between corporate law and finance, the obvious degree would be comm/law. Finance is basically attempting to allocate resources efficiently. Examples include deciding whether to go through with a certain mining...

In terms of making the content in actuarial easier, maths would definitely be the way to go. The maths in commerce isn't heavy at all. There's probably more to consider than just which degree makes actuarial content easier though, so keep that in mind when choosing.

Yeah I read about that. I'm so sad that I don't get the free stuff because I don't need to renew my access :(

Apparently it was 88 according to USYD's fb. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the way it works is that for each year you'll need an access card if you want to join societies even if you were a member of the society previously.

Most of the single degree units that you have already done will count towards the double degree. Some that aren't needed for the double degree will not be counted however (e.g. if you're going from mech --> mech/comm there are a couple of subjects in your first year that you do in mech that...

Yeah if you're doing a 3 year degree you're gonna need 90 this sem to raise it to 65 unfortunately. You can still study REALLY hard and smash the exams and any assessments you have left, but unless you've done at least pretty well in your assessments this sem so far then I don't think it'll matter.

There's also one in all of the 3 learning hub thingies in the new business school building

lol she's in year 11, chill. There's still time for her to get ready for interviews.

If you have a linkedin account, use it as much as you can and see what new-ish analysts at banks studied at university. Comm/law of course seems to be the most popular, but the next popular is comm/engg.

I've come across quite a few engineering-focused jobs where having a double degree in specifically commerce was seen as particularly beneficial (BOC and IBM for example). But yeah, as si2136 said, comm is quite broad.

If you want to get into aeronautical engineering then maths is very, very heavy (and even more so for space engineering). I know some very smart people and a lot of them find aero subjects hard, and space subjects even harder. Definitely don't go into either of these if you "think aircraft and...

I agree with Phaze. Macquarie is still a really good uni and if you do well in Macquarie you'll be fine. Take a second degree in what interests you most, or what kind of start-ups you want to get involved with. If you're looking to get into tech start-ups, obviously take something computer focused.

GO8 is a factor though. If you don't want to look at the mysterious, intangible "prestige" factor you can look at the basic economics behind it. There's a higher demand (for whatever reason) for GO8 universities, and this allows universities to be very choosy with who they take into their...
