 1. Faculty of Arts requirements

Students undertaking the Bachelor of Arts are normally permitted to enrol in approved subjects offered by other faculties. However, there is a requirement that students complete the following minimum number of points in departments within the Faculty of Arts:

In most cases, students wishing to undertake a major in Economic History 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.
