Initially I was very interested in the field of Economics and recognising that the Bachelor of Commerce provided this area of study was a significant factor in my decision.

Attend your tute's they can mean the difference between passing and failing your exams. And when attending tutorials ask plenty of questions, tutors have so many different ways of explaining thing!!
