Please note: ECOM30001 Basic Econometrics can meet entry requirements in place of ECOM30002 Econometrics in the 2017 and 2018 Honours intakes, but from the 2019 intake and onwards, ECOM30001 Basic Econometrics will no longer meet entry requirements for Honours (Economics).
Students are strongly advised to give early consideration to a topic for their fourth year research essay. They will need to obtain approval for it from an advisor during semester one of their fourth year.
