    Hello, first time posting here.

    I am looking for advice regarding choosing a course for college. I am currently in 5th year so I have time yet to decide. I have a few queries I was hoping I could get answers to.

    1. I believe Business and Law would be a useful degree to have as it would give me a large variety of options to specialise in later on. I also have an interest in accounting. I personally think I will prefer business, I would like to go down that route careers wise. If for example, I was to go down the accountancy route would I be better off doing the BCOMM course which is complete business? Would there be more excemptions? Would employers in the business section prefer a complete business degree or a mix of both business and law?

    2. The Bcomm offers a paid internship and a chance to study abroad. The Business and Law course does not offer an internship.
    Would having a business and law degree with no internship experience be more desirable for employers over a general business degree with an internship? What are your thoughts?

    Thank you for reading, I can imagine many people are also asking questions regarding college at this time.

    I don't think Business & Law is that valuable. It has always seemed a slightly weird combination to me, unless your plan is to go into law later. So it's a case of being a solicitor with a decent business background, rather than being a business person with a decent law background.

    If you want to do business and accounting, you should go down that route. Sounds like Bcomm is a better option for you.
