50 points at first-year;

In most cases, students wishing to undertake a major in another faculty will be able to do so, but they will need to plan their course carefully to ensure they meet both departmental prerequisites and Faculty requirements.
Students should consult Business Development and Corporate History in respect to individual subjects available in any year.
Combined course students (except those in the BA/BCom) will not normally be eligible to enrol in any subject(s) in this area of study: please consult an Arts Faculty Course Adviser for further information.
Arts students may take individual subjects from the following list or undertake a major in Economic History. A major consists of two single-semester subjects (25 points) at first-year level, two single-semester subjects (33.3 points) at second-year level and three single-semester subjects (50 points) at third-year level.
