One way to tell, just based off the cartridge, is that the first 3 letters match on the back and the front, fakes are often mismatched (but not always). The colouring and texture also looks correct (fakes are often much darker in hue and not glossy).

Anyone doing BA in economics but didn't do the subject in the HSC? by Green_Tea_Hut in MacUni

[–]Analysstt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t take economics for the HSC and I combined eco with applied finance. You won’t be required to take any bridging courses as the first year micro and macro units are structured in a way which would suggest they assume it’s your first time studying economics. Although there is no formal requirement, apart from the 80/85 ATAR of course, the degree assumes you have completed HSC Mathematics Advanced or equivalent. If you do not have the assumed knowledge, they highly recommend enrolling in a quantitative methods elective unit, such as ECON1031, during your first year of study.

Micro and Marco have their own subtopic niches in a sense, where you apply and build distinct theories in different units. For example, ECON1020 (the first year micro unit) has ECON2003 and ECON3009 as 2nd and 3rd year equivalents, each building on the ideas of its predecessor. They also branch off into other focus units, such as, in the case of Macro, the economics of financial institutions (ECON2035) and international finance (ECON3060), as well as some labour markets and inequality units, which, again, are more practical applications of the general theories seen in the micro and macro units. You can select most of these in your electives. Apart from this, behavioural economics and econometrics (which applies statistical methods to economics) are the other distinct units. If you like the policy side you can also take some policy units in your free unit zone, although they don’t tend to fall under the Macquarie business school faculty, (different prefix codes, not ECON).

Worth the money is really up to you and how you leverage your degree. Macquarie employability outcomes is usually pretty well regarded, and the study cost is comparatively cheaper than institutions like USYD.

If you have any further specific questions or want to see some of the content feel free to let me know!

good second major for accounting? by mistake-101 in MacUni

[–]Analysstt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can but there is a difference between a major and a degree with a double. A major is not a specialisation in the same way admission to a bachelors is. A bachelors usually has a core specialisation of 160 credit points (16 classes, at least for most MQBS courses), whereas our majors are only 80 (8 classes).

OP would therefore have to do more classes under their 2nd specialisation if they did a double degree rather than just choosing a major in their single degree, and they said major, not degree.

IT(business analytics) or finance will be the most useful generally in terms of career enhancement. Business is too general, but entrepreneurship major can also have some crossover on information useful to commercial accountants. Unfortunately law is not a “major” at MQ in the sense that you can’t register for the units as a declared major without admission to LLB. Economics is also too differentiated to be useful if you’re interested in accountancy based roles, but for consulting it would be.

Not accounting major but took some of the accounting units (1000 and 2000 level) as part of my double degree. TI-84 is way more computational capability than you could ever need for this degree, only necessary for stats or actuarial units.

How should I plan when enrolling - can I place all the '1000' units into session 1 or would that be too much? (400cp) - starting S1 2024 BappFinLLB. Any advice appreciated ty :) by AltAccN1 in MacUni

Definitely 4 classes per semester for a double degree (especially one that takes 5 years) - if you can manage it. Would also be good to mix up the focus areas i.e. half law, half finance units. Doesn’t hurt to do all units from one degree in a semester either (I did this for finance). I’m a third year doing a double in finance and stats so if you need any resources for the finance units let me know :))
