Economics // Structure

The Department of Economics in the Faculty of Business and Economics offer a 112.5-point major and 75-point minor in the BA. Students intending to major in Economics should note that a study score of at least 25 in either Mathematical Methods 3/4 or Specialist Mathematics is a prerequisite for this program. Introductory Microeconomics must be completed before entering Introductory Macroeconomics and Intermediate Microeconomics at level 2. Introductory Macroeconomics must be completed before Intermediate Macroeconomics at Level 2.

Students who undertake a major in Economics will complete 112.5 points with 37.5 points taken as Arts discipline subjects, 75 points taken as breadth. Students completing the Bachelor of Arts Economics major cannot take any other breadth subjects. Taking a breadth subject other than Economics will prevent students from completing the major. For this reason, it is recommended that students add the Economics major to their study plan at the beginning of the course.
