hello there Im new here.going to Monash Sunway in august.am taking b business&commerce majoring in accounting,banking&finance.any tips/info from seniors? also i saw in some blogs about 'ghost' rumour is it true or its not a problem anymore. thanks & nice to meet you all

Sorry i should be more specific i meant d hostel not the campus.regarding the blog link goggle ghost of sunway

Dear seniors, I am a August 2010 intake for Monash Malaysia Bachelor of Business & Commerce. I need some opinion on which campus to go if I want to major in Accounting & Finance. Heard that Caulfield is or is it Clayton is a bigger campus with more facilities.And we can only transfer after we complete 8 units right? If I transfer in the last year of my studies it is possible right? And what about the fees, is it follow Malaysia fees of RM30k plus/yr? Thanks

exchange seems to be a cheaper option right if I am going to Monash Australia just for a change of study environment since transfer will costs more.anyhow which is better exchange or transfer?

thanks for all the info will really look at each options in detail and hopefully my result is good enough for either exchange/transfer

there are 6 core units in Business & Commerce
AFW1000 Principles of Accounting & Finance - pretty much manageable if you have studied Accounts before
MKW1120 Marketing - there are 'easy' weekly submissions every week, and the most stressful is the positioning essay other than that its ok
i am afraid thats all i can tell as I have only done 2 units, the rest i havent done it. maybe the seniors can give better advice

school atmosphere in what sense?

according to the Course Management Office people in our orientation last August, if you want to go to Clayton you need to take Business & Economics statistics. may i know what is this subject about? Is it the same like A Level statistics? And what is the difference between business stats and biz & eco stats. thanks

strict marking scheme not really as long as you got the main points you get the mark and also it depend on who is your lecturer.If you get a fussy lecturer, then its not your lucky day lah!
impossible assignment tasks.not really too, the lecturer will explain it really thoroughly not just pass you the assignment paper and here go do it on your own
regarding exam questions not related to lectures notes.its NO too except when the examiner feel like want to test you then it may be the case, however your lecturer will prepare you for it

And this is for Business courses so far 1st year 1st semester

Added on November 30, 2010, 10:52 amhi there any seniors can provide me info regarding transfer to clayton/caulfield?
i know that clayton need at least 70%,while caulfield 65%.
tried to ask at course management office but they give very little info i.e. should be compatible.
tried to email clayton/caulfield also but got very little info also.
and from this forum i read about some1 saying that some units that we take in Sunway is not the same there.
any1 mind to give some info on the units that are not same? I read Company reporting AFW 2491 is not same.then another issue Msia ts Bachelor of Business & Comm, but in Caulfield/Clayton its Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting & finance)

hi there
the accounting which is part of your compulsory subjects is a basic level unit which means it suits for people who have not studied Accounting before.
book for Accounting? you mean the textbook that we use for Accounting course or other books for Accounting.if textbook we are using Principles of Accounting & Finance from John Wiley & Sons. its green in colour
if other books i suggest you get a Form 6 level Accounting textbook

hey there, I heard from my friend that if you want to transfer to Caulfield from Sunway, starting this year they have tighten up the requirements.need what maths for engineering? can anyone confirm this, thanks

yes there is a bus from kl sentral to summit hotel

dont need to worry much about marketing coz its memorising that matters, accounting should be easy too, management the assignments will kill you if you get into the wrong direction, microeconomics its ok provided you practice a lot on the graphs.

all the people i ask say dont know, ask wait for transfer talk

if i did see the correct form for transfer.there is a section where you need to give your reasons for transfer. this is like writing a personal statement to enter some of the 'popular' unis

so can anyone confirm that those who have taken year 12 equivalent Maths subject, do not have to take Maths for Engineering ENG1091?

i just email them and lets just wait for their reply.if anyone is at Caulfield right now (which is impossible since its holiday season) kindly ask for us directly please thanks

you can do it now or during orientation but its going to be very crowded during orientation

this person support your plan

1st 2 days are all talks and campus tour.the last day is the best there is a outdoor game
