COMPARISON BETWEEN BUSINESS AND COMMERCE PROGRAMS A key question we get asked is what the real differences are between the UTS Bachelor of Business program and similar Bachelor of Commerce programs at UNSW, the University of Sydney and Macquarie University. The following tables highlight the similarities and differences between the main options at each university. Each of the programs provide a robust, world-class education across key fields of business and management, and each will provide a strong foundation on which graduates can pursue a rewarding career.

They are also all accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) - the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide.While published ATAR cut-offs vary, none of the programs require any specific prior knowledge in mathematics, business studies or economics. Differences include the selection of majors, composition of core and capstone subjects, opportunities for internships and ability to combine full-time work with study.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is there a difference between the published ATAR cut-offs between the four programs?

The published ATAR cut-off does not reflect the level of difficulty or complexity of each program. It more reflects both the supply of places available to applicants who have just completed their HSC (current school leavers), the demand of those applicants, and the ATAR scores they achieved.

So if a university wishes to make 200 offers for current school leavers, does the published cut-off represent the score of the 200th ranked student?

As all universities allow some form of flexible entry, bonus points etc, many students actually receive an offer with ATARs below the published cut-off.

Why does UTS call their degree a Business degree, when UNSW, Sydney and Macquarie call theirs a Commerce degree?

Commerce is not used as frequently (overseas and in Australia) as Business in relation to course or school/faculty names. At UTS we feel the name Business reflects the broad nature of the degree and its application across industries and sectors.

Are Commere degrees more orientated towards study in mathematical or finance fields than Business degrees?

No. There is no difference in the core mathematical requirements between business and commerce. Students in the Bachelor of Business can elect to do an extended major in Finance, meaning half their degree can focus in this field. Students particularly interested in mathematics and finance may also be interested in the Bachelor of Mathematics and Finance (ATAR cut-off 79.65).

Does it matter whether I did Business Studies or Economics at school?

No. None of the programs assume you have already studied any business or economics before.

If I want to change from a Commerce degree to the UTS Bachelor of Business what do I do?

You need to apply through UAC (if you are a local student, or the UTS International Office if you are an international student). Depending on the subjects you have successfully completed, you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning.

When do I need to decide on specialisations?All of the Business and Commerce programs shown above have the advantage of allowing students to choose to specialise as their interests and aspirations develop. Students within the UTS Bachelor of Business undertake an integrated core throughout the first year of their degree, giving a taste of different specialisations before these are selected the following year.

COMPARISON BETWEEN ECONOMICS PROGRAMS A key question we get asked is what the real differences are between similar courses at UNSW, the University of Sydney and Macquarie University. The following tables highlight the similarities and differences between the Economics at each university, including the new Bachelor of Economics at UTS. Each of the programs provide a robust, world-class education across key fields of business and management, and each will provide a strong foundation on which graduates can pursue a rewarding career.

While published ATAR cut-offs vary, none of the programs require any specific prior knowledge in mathematics, business studies or economics. While each Bachelor of Economics degree, as you would expect, features an Economics major, the composition of this major, and of other elements that make up the degree, vary from course to course.Differences include the selection of majors, composition of core and capstone subjects, opportunities for internships and ability to combine full-time work with study.
