Each major in the BCom requires 48 credit points and each minor requires 24 credit points as specified in the relevant schedules. The following rules may apply:

  1. Students must complete at least one major but may complete two if they wish. A single subject may count towards two different majors. However, such double counting can apply to only one, 6 credit point subject. Thus completing a second major will require completion of an additional 42 to 48 specified credit points. Where two or more subjects are common to two majors, the relevant Head of School will designate a replacment subject(s).

  2. Students may complete one or two of the designated minors but the completion of a minor is not a degree requirement. A minor cannot be completed in the same discipline as the major, for example an Accountancy Major with an Accountancy Minor. A single subject may not be count towards a major and minor or towards two minors; double counting is not permitted when completing a minor. Thus completing each minor will require an additional 24 specified credit points. Where one (or more) subject(s) is common to a major and a minor to to two different minors, the relevant Head of School will designate a replacement subject(s).
