Double degree and Combines degrees (1 Viewer)

[simonsuxballs]

So i heard that if you do a combined degree you cannot "drop" one of the courses, where as with double you can.
E.g. Commerce/Engineering <---UNSW says its combines
Can i drop engineering without needing to transfer.

Also is Commerce/Engineering part of School of business or Physics?

1. You have to transfer.
2. Commerce/Engineering is part of both the Business and Engineering schools.

why transfer? does it have something to do with it being a combined degree? will I need to get at least 75 if I wanted to get rid of the eng part?

This isn't HSC. You can't "drop" a course like you can in HSC. There are places for each degree and you can't just do that. So you have to transfer into that degree stream.

That's the way I understand it, at least.

Like me now, I'm transferring to Arts/Maths. I can't "switch" Arts for Commerce, I have to transfer to that degree stream.

I think he's asking if you can discontinue Engineering and only go on to graduate with Commerce. So....yes/no?

Yes, but you have to transfer to straight Commerce first.

I'm not sure if thats right shadowdude.
Yes, for transferring for adv maths/com to adv maths/arts u need to transfer.
But look here, http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2012/3715.html
it says,
(ii) A student may apply to discontinue the combined BE BCom programs and elect to complete either the BE or BCom degree in accordance with the rules governing award of that degree. Following discontinuation of one of the programs (BE or BCom), courses which count toward that program will not in general count toward the remaining single degree unless they meet the single degree requirements in their own right.

I do not believe that means a transfer.
This is for UNSW btw.

Hmm. You might be right.

Best bet is to talk to UNSW Student Central, for the definitive answer.

Shadowdude is talking shit, you can drop a component in Engineering/Commerce. Everything he has said in this thread is false.
