Faculty of Economics and Commerce : Guide to courses
The formal requirements for the Bachelor of Commerce degree allow for very flexible course plans. They relate only to the four compulsory subjects required and to the number of subjects at both first and third year which must be taken. This flexibility is a response to the demand from employers for students with a broad education. However, in order to assist students to choose subjects from the wide range of areas taught, the Faculty has developed illustrative specialisations in which related subjects are grouped. These specialisations are listed below and on the following pages.
Students are not required to follow them in every detail and should vary them according to their own particular interests. Students are encouraged to consider taking combinations of subjects from different discipline areas within the Faculty, and to include in their course subjects such as languages, psychology and mathematics from other faculties. Students should ensure when planning their course that they have completed the pre-requisite subjects which will allow them a wide choice of subjects at later years.
Combined course students should note that, depending upon the particular combined course in which they are enrolled, they may not be able to undertake all subjects listed within a particular specialisation. Students can seek advice from the faculty office regarding the most appropriate choice of subjects.
Note: for specific information about professional requirements students should refer to Membership of professional bodies.
