whether which course is tougher depends on individual's area of 'enlightenment'. some can do well in this course, some don't and vice cersa. -
my advice would be to choose something u r genuinely interested in. something that, when u have to do it, won't feel like a burden to u

i advice doing business management (BM) instead of accountancy. accountancy is very specialised, hence when u grad, lesser job opportunities than those who grad frm BM. however, accountants are paid more la. thing is, u have to like the modules dat the uni offers, i think accountancy is rather dry, u do stuff like cost accounting, financial accounting, bank accounting blah which are really boring whereas BM offers some humanities modules. sides, u can always get a diploma in accountancy to back up ur degree in BM and u will still probably earn as much as an accountant.

i also advice doing Biz Management instead of accountancy, UNLESS u know that's what you want to do. Coz it's specialized and the other area you can work additionally also is in finance-related areas.
All accounting graduates, if you go into auditing line, in Big 4 companies, your starting pay is $2,000. All the same. it's because the turnover rate of auditors is so high that the companies want to see which are the junior auditors that really love the work or just have enough lifelessness to continue hanging on. This gives the impression that auditors have very good prospects. The truth is, because auditing is such a specialized job (even general accounting), you either love it or hate it, no in-between. So choose carefully. Most accounting students thinking that prospects of accounting is so good, they enter the course and find it's totally boring. U really must love numbers to excel and more importantly have staying power in the career line as accountant/auditor.
Do consider a BBM (Bachelor of business Management) if you want a more varied and mroe exposed degree. For SMU, our BBM has 5 or 6 majors, if i recall correctly. Most popular is finance, followed by Marketing, then there's also Management, Corporate communications, operations Research etc. Check out www.smu.edu.sg for mroe info.
SMU's finance is the most popular major. We have very good tie-ups with alot of financial institutions n houses like Citibank, Lehman Bros, UBS, CSFB etc. i'm in Marketing, and i sometimes feel neglected. haha.
Anyway, if you want to speak well n have the edge and know how to present yourself well. Come to SMU!
I was very shy n quiet before entering SMU. The compulsory class participation and endless presentations forces one to be at least competent in personal presentations. it's not gonna be easy. Put it this way, in this world, it's no longer about what you know, it's about who u know, how you can connect with people and how you can bring people together.
Do consider hard in your choice of undergraduate studies! All the best! -
Hmm, i got question, is the Maths learned in BBA tough ???
-
maths in bizness related degree very easy de. maths in engineering is the most siong.
-
I'm also choosing courses too. Hey Yoghurt, how do you find NUS biz ? Can give us abit of your personal experience ?
-
maths? unlike F math, we do "math" in the form of finance and statistics if dat answers ur Q. Engineering math is optional. it's easy if u like it! no worriesOriginally posted by gd4u:Hmm, i got question, is the Maths learned in BBA tough ??? -
wad do u mean personal experience? hee..Originally posted by schoolworkphobia:I'm also choosing courses too. Hey Yoghurt, how do you find NUS biz ? Can give us abit of your personal experience ?
campus life is vibrant if dats wad u mean. pple are very competitive though. but dat gives u the motivation to study hard. frds are very impt if u ask me. modules are ok, if ur frm poly, it's somewad like poly style life i guess. be prepared to be bombarded wif projects. i rather be in SMU now. jus look at their campus! -

Lol metalgear u reali make a good advertiser eh.. U shld start charging SMU for this.. =D
Ya SMU pupils are known for being more outspoken and stuff.. Budden i'm not those who likes to dress up mei mei those kind..
I those slap and go person and i scared i go there veri stress and spend half of my time fitting into the enviroment while negleting my studies..
And for sum reasons, my mum is super anti SMU.. I tink coz the sch fees are relatively higher and u spend 4 yrs for a Hons while in NTU it's direct Hons..

well i must say tha my course is not exactly to my fullest liking now, but I choose it with an eye towards my career having to suit my interest. Of course, unfortunately I found out that 1st year basic mech eng is boring as hell... but thats the only way I'll have a career that I want. If I'd known then, then I might have taken up astronomy or philosophy. Now I guess I'm just gonna have to tough it out.Originally posted by motoway:*nods head in agreement*

What does AO level pass in physics means ?
Does it means must take Physics at A level ? -
u want good career go into nursing... its in demand...

u take physics at A levels but get O7 or O8. As long as u dun get F9 for physics means its an AO passOriginally posted by schoolworkphobia:What does AO level pass in physics means ?

U sound so chim, AO pass is when ur phy get 40-44 marks (which considers fail in A lvl standard) They say AO pass is equivalent to a O lvl pass, i not sure abt tt though ...
-
where got chim? as long as dun get F9 is AO pass, plain n simple right?Originally posted by gd4u:U sound so chim, AO pass is when ur phy get 40-44 marks (which considers fail in A lvl standard) They say AO pass is equivalent to a O lvl pass, i not sure abt tt though ... -
Acc is always boring and tedious. Have you met a dynamic accountant before? But demand for accountant is always there. In biz mgmt, there are more career pathways.. I think the 'in' thing now would probably be supply chain management
