difference between arts and commerce? (1 Viewer)

[truly-in-bliss]

hey dudes and dudettes

i am thinking abt doing a combined law degree at unsw (or syd) but dunno whether i should combine it with com or law... i lyk both maths and essay writing.....i am doing 4u eng and 4u maths atm.....but i must say essay writing is so time consumin for meeh...i enjoy economics and other social science subjects (in yr 11 i did eco, biz and legal as my electives), so i dunt really know which one to pick..combined arts? or combined law?

looking fwwd to ur advice.

thankz!

TIB: In an honest and unbiased opinion, you are much more likely to gain a more secure and enjoyable occupation after you graduate with a BCom LLB than with an BA LLB. However of course I realise this is all relative. If u want to become a general lawyer, I guess it wouldnt really matter. But if u want to work in the field of business or finance etc, a commerce/law degree would be of greater benefit.

Also, in commerce, there isnt really any essay writing at all, depending on your major. However with arts, u get em ALL the time (just ask Asq)

thankz minai and asq... yeah i know if i do b arts by itself....its less *pratical* (in terms of employment opportunites) than a b com degree

orginalli i was gonna choose com/law at both unis....but after hearing pplz suggestions i am just wondering if i should ifferntiate ie:

- law/arts at syd
- law/com at unsw

right now i think i dont b\mind either degress...but i do enjoy numbers a lil bit more than essays..


and tim..thatz the thing... i dont mind either sectors, public or private..i lyk banks and big corporations but at the same time..i dont mind a job in liberal education..... i lyk coffee, breakfast on the run and pinstrip suits.. hahah

TIB: Do economics and social sciences. Its commercey with arts subjects. e.g economics, political economy, government etc, without having to do accounting and information systems.

It's not 80-90% arts at usyd btw. It felt like that initially, but i think its a much more even split now.

 

[truly-in-bliss]

umm..sounds intersting ref: comm + soci sci /law.. so baicalli a combined law/com is sorta lyk law/eco +social sci without the arts stuff, and it has more accounting?......


if so....is eco + social sci betta at syd or unsw? my guess is unsw....it seems syd is onli realli excellent at arts/law...hahaha

 

[timmii]

unsw doesnt offer it. a lot of my friends do it and really like it.

 

[truly-in-bliss]

hahah i just realised ur the mod for uni of syd.. hahah....hey do u know grace mang? she is our ex skool capitan and is also doing eco+social sci/law....

 

[SoFTuaRiaL]

bleh! forget the confusion. just do sci/law like laz

 

[timmii]

Ummm i know *a* grace, i dont know if its *your* grace What school do u go to?

Sorry asq...I'll stop. For the sake of the survival of the uni crush thread

Or do architecture/law, apparently unsw offers it

 

[truly-in-bliss]

mai friend does arch, he says it isnt really math focused, atleast not in first yr. lot of emphasis on design, creativity, inoovation etc ...

 

[truly-in-bliss]

well i luv design...and all dat..i luv houses..came first in art in yr 9 and 10...i do oil painting outside of skool..used to do life sketch.....i used to take photogrpahy classes as well...so yeha i am realli creative.. but just not sure abt careeer prospects....

but right now...my main delimma is if i get into syd...should i do arts/law instead of com/law? i eman i lyk them both... preferabli commerce/law..but syd is not that great iwht da commerce side

um I reackon the UAI is more of a worry (its going up up and away), get the mark then debate

 

[timmii]

Hehe asq....was that a pointed reference at me?

I dont necessarily argue *either* is better, but i was inundated with raised eyebrows and curious glances when i declared i wanted to go to usyd comm/law and i dont think they were justified.

 

[Minai]

If Sydney Uni is cutting places, I wouldn't be surprised if USyd's commerce cutoff becomes higher than UNSW

 

[squallja]

actually.....

the best thing to do would be commerce(liberal studies)/law at usyd.

you dun haf to do boring, crappy compulsory subjects like accounting, and you can major and do electives/minors from basically any faculty ya want

should seriously fink bout doin that degree

 

[timmii]

if it existed...

 

[hk31]

i say...do comm/arts...
forget LAW!
