Words and letters can be misunderstood but seeing is believing

We hear many good things about institutions from websites, counsellors, representatives and even friends and families. Words such as “Dynamic and vibrant atmosphere”, “modern buildings” or “healthy study environment” has been used when describing institutions. But what does that actually mean to us? We can create abstract imaginations from these words, but it would just be a figment of our imagination. Each and every person creates a different imagination from the same set of words. Even pictures can be misrepresentative.

A picture captures only a moment and not the whole experience. This does not only apply to institutions, when students are interested in overseas study, again, words and pictures would not do the locations justice.

Campus visits should be used as a decision-making tool when choosing a further education institution. With a physical visit, students would be able to have an actual taste of the experience and atmosphere for themselves. “Dynamic and vibrant atmosphere”, “modern buildings” or “healthy study environment” would not be just mere words anymore but actual experiences to take in. No amount of pictures or descriptive words can attest to actual experiences.

Study experiences do and should not end with just the institutions. The cities in which students live in have their own different unique cultures and lifestyle. Living in different cities and interacting with people from different background and cultures would provide a broader mind frame and allows students to obtain priceless new insight and experiences that they would not have had otherwise.
Especially overseas, visiting cities can provide an insight into life within the city and the institutions. Different cities and countries have different cultures.

There may be fundamental differences that would suit the students less or better with different countries. For example between living in large city and living in a small city would be very different due to the language, the population, the city structure, architecture and history, the flora and fauna and the people itself.

If you are interested in a campus visit, SUN Education is arranging a weeklong campus tour to Melbourne and Sydney from 24th June to 1st of July. You will be able to have a taste of Melbourne and Sydney. We will visit different universities that specialise in different areas.
Some of the universities we are visiting are the University of New South Wales, Le Cordon Bleu, University of Sydney, Monash University and RMIT. Each university will have their own guide to show and teach students about the respective universities. Book a place now at your nearest SUN Branch. Hurry, places are limited!

Fulfil your ‘liberal’ interests within your commerce degree

What is a commerce degree?

Commerce, essentially the exchange of money for products or services, predates the Roman Empire and is a cornerstone of modern capitalist economies.

The broad-based, flexible and multi-disciplinary commerce degree provides a thorough understanding of the workings of the economy and business. Through professional training in the commerce disciplines, the course develops a capacity for logical analysis and the knowledge and skills required to manage public and private enterprises.

Why take a commerce degree?

A commerce degree will provide you with technical competencies and strong generic skills particularly in the areas of effective communication, critical analysis, problem solving and teamwork - the theory and practice needed for business professionals and managers to succeed in modern commercial, government, social and voluntary organisations.

In a traditional three-year commerce degree, students are limited to one or two specialisations. All of these specialisations must reside within the Business School. While some institutions allow students to use their electives for a non-business major, it would be at the sacrifice of the second business major.

Broaden your career options with a ‘liberal’ commerce degree

The University of Sydney offers a specialised degree called Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies). As the name states, the scope of the degree is very wide and liberal. The degree is a four-year program, which allows students to choose up to three areas of specialisation (majors) and opt for more elective units than normally possible.

How does this work?

Students are required to complete two majors selected from ‘Major I’ and ‘Major II’ subject areas. The ‘Major I subject areas’ are: accounting, business information systems, commercial law, finance, industrial relations and human resource management, international business, management, marketing or quantitative business analysis.

The ‘Major II subject areas’ are: accounting, agricultural economics, business information systems, commercial law, computer science, econometrics, economics, finance, financial mathematics, government and international relations, international business, management, marketing, mathematics, political economy, or quantitative business analysis. The ‘Major II’ major must be different to the one chosen from the 'Major I subject areas'. In addition to the required two majors students may complete additional majors or electives from the Business School or the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Science, Education and Social Work or Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (subject to course rules and restrictions).

Implications and opportunities?

With a Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies) and the vast number of majors that students are able to choose from, students are able to explore more of the aspects that they are interested in. For Example, combining a major of International Business, Industrial Relations and Human Resources Management along with a Psychology faculty major would allow the said student to understand the workings of Human Resources combined with psychology to give the student a competitive advantage in the HR industry. Economics, Quantitative Business Analysis and Agricultural Economics would allow a commerce graduate to ease into the agriculture industry more easily with the foundations that the student would have gained from the Agricultural Economics studies. For the more liberal, an option would be to choose Management, Business Information Systems and Music. 

This would allow students to study commerce while at the same time expanding the musical talent of the students. Otherwise, the student can take two majors, and gain a number of electives to satisfy their desire to learn more about arts or sciences, for example majoring in Management and Political Economy, while taking electives in Music, Fine Arts, Physics, Resource Economy, Sociology and French Studies.

Graduates have the same employment opportunities as Commerce graduates with the added scope of careers requiring skills in the arts and sciences. Previous graduates have developed careers in journalism, policy analysis, international aid and a vast number of other fascinating areas.

Industry Placement Program

The University of Sydney provides an Industry Placement Program that offers final year business students opportunities to work for a leading firm while completing their degree. The program gives Bachelor of Commerce and Masters of Commerce students the opportunity to earn credit towards their degree by working part time (unpaid) for nine weeks.

During their placement, students work on genuine business projects of the firm’s choice, applying what they’ve learnt at university to develop and implement sustainable business solutions. Current partner firms include the Commonwealth Bank, Deloitte, PwC and Ernst & Young. The placement program is highly competitive, so only the most motivated emerging business professionals are selected to participate. Placements are assigned on the basis of the student’s area of specialisation (major), to ensure an optimal fit with their host company.

As the rough draft, living in London needs cost more or less £900 each month. While for other cities in UK the living cost is around £650 to £800 each month. The costs above have already covered the costs for accommodation, transportation, foods, communication, and other daily needs. But of course, the cost will vary, depends on living style.
