Major Study Areas
Quantitative Analysis in Economics
To satisfy the requirements of a major study a student shall complete the Bachelor of Commerce core subjects as listed in the course requirement, plus one capstone subject and 48 credit points listed for the major.
A single core first year subject may count towards a major where approval is obtained from a delegated authority.
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 the completion of an additional 42 to 48 credit specified credit points. Where two or more subjects are common to two majors, the relevant Associate Head of School will designate a replacement subject.
Candidates for this degree will be required to maintain a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of at least 75 each year to continue in the program.
Minor Study Areas
BCom Minor Study Areas (Accountancy; Business Information Systems; Business Innovation; Business Law; Economics; Economics of Environmental Sustainability; Economies of Asia; Finance; Human Resource Economics; Human Resource Management; International Business; Management; Marketing; Public Relations; Quantitative Analysis in Economics; Small Business; Supply Chain Management).
To satisfy the requirements of a minor study a student shall complete the listed subjects for the minor.
A single core first year subject may count towards a minor where approval is obtained from a delegated authority.
Students may complete one or more 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 a major, for example an Accountancy Major with an Accountancy Minor. A single subject may not count towards a major and minor or towards two minors: double counting is not permitted when completing a minor. Thus completing each minor may require an additional 24 credit points if a single core subject is not included in the minor. Where one (or more) subject(s) is common to a major and a minor or to different minors, the relevant Associate Head of School will designate a replacement subject(s).
PLEASE NOTE: Subject and session offerings may change prior to the commencement of session. Students are advised to check the latest information available on the Subject Database.
