UCD or Murdoch

[hOp3SoT]

hi, would like to ask Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Finance [UCD]or Bachelor of Commerce in Banking & Finance [Murdoch] which one is better ah? Also would like to check if for govt sector which one is recognized? thx =D

Key Differences
UCD -- 18 months / Distance Teaching / More Expensive
Murdoch -- 16 months / Distance Learning / Slightly Cheaper

Recognition
Government Sector = Don't even think about it.
Private Sector = Subjected to Approval by Company HR (Singapore)

The Singapore Government is very straightforward, no local university degree, no talk.

Some Government Officials may try to bluff you and say they will "consider" but will keep you waiting forever until you decided to say "enough is enough".

Im currently pursuing the Diploma in Commerce (Business Administration) @ Kaplan and I know where I am standing and what I will be getting down the road, Private Sector for the rest of my life.

If you want to be recognized by the Government, here is a list of universities to consider ..
- National University of Singapore (NUS)
- Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
- Singapore Management University (SMU)
- University of Cambridge
- University of Oxford
- Stanford University
- Harvard University

Ucd finance is only 4 pathway finance modules whereas murdoch mostly finance modules i presume.

 

[circleheart]

I am going to apply for UCD finance as well part time this oct intake, compared with murdoch before still feel that UCD will be a better choice. Only concern is how hard will it be to obtain a 1st class in UCD.


UP for more feedbacks !

 

[GoodServices]

[chobits]

Well, you need to get cgpa 3.68/4 to get 1st class. Less than 5% of the cohort will be able to score this high. 2nd upper is more realistic.

according to 2008/2009 data - 64% of the graduates get a 2.1 or better!
Who Has Better Degrees? The Evidence | Network for Irish Educational Standards

here it states back in 2012 18% grad with 1st class..
First hons degee in UCC = 70%, UL = 85% - boards.ie

on a doc published by "Grade Inflation in Irish Universities?
Report for the University Council
Trinity College Dublin" shows ~10% of students gets award 1.1 and in 2004 its ~13%.

so on campus vs off shore diff and diff major that diff!

 

[aidilfitri]

personally, I think UCD has a better reputation.
or even SIM-UOL.
