So where does Accounting lead? Accounting is a core subject for almost every commerce degree in Australasia and is seen as advantageous for all university graduates- despite specialisation. If you wish to be successful - be it in science, medicine, law or commerce, eventually you will be responsible for the management of money by way of budgets and strategic decision-making. Accounting prepares you to handle these funds in a responsible and accurate manner.
ECONOMICS
Why do Economics? Economics is a social science involving the study of people and their activities relating to production, consumption and exchange. The study covers the behaviour of individuals, their work decisions of what to produce, where to locate and how to market, and the activities of Government. A thorough study is also made of major economic issues, i.e. unemployment, inflation, budget deficits, trade imbalances and economic growth.
So where does Economics lead? An understanding of economic issues and effects is a basis for the study of both commerce and society. From the planning of marketing decisions through to developing the Third World, Economics impacts upon us all. Because of its Arts and Commerce orientation it can be studied as a main or as a supporting subject within either an Arts or a Commerce qualification. Economics also forms a core component of many other qualifications, including Agriculture/Horticulture, through to Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management.
