Business Admin vs. Applied Finance (1 Viewer)

[t & co.]

I'm tossing up between combining Commerce-Accounting with either Bus.Admin or Applied Finance next year, so if anyone could give me pros & cons about them it would be greatly appreciated.

My uai was 95.85, so I should be right to get into either course.

Thanks in advance.

i would assume applied finance would be fairly specific to the finance industry, while BBA would let you have more broader options.

From my unerstanding,
B AppFin applies specifically to FINANCE, (Money markets/bonds/investment portfolios etc)
BBA, would be broad in the sense of understanding the behaviour of business and consumers.

i thought BBA was more of a management type degree.... ::confused

what i would do is do bba/b.com-accg that way if your not satisfied with the bba part of your degree, you could internally transfer to b.appfin because it requires a slightly less GPA criteria to trasnfer into.

i put fin + acc first...then bba +acc.....so if i don't like fin later...is it ok to transfer? wel..tat's if i will make in!

Personally I would enjoy BBA more than Finanace. Especially for those combining with accounting, you get to study some of the 'soft' skills like business communications, human resources, organisational psychology...plus you will be taught strategic management by an MGSM lecturer.
