Economics Electives
3543 - Economics

Students must complete 12 UOC of Economics electives or accepted substitutes of Economics electives to ensure a student completes a minimum of 78 UOC of Economics courses.

Note: Students in combined Economics/Computer Science, Economics/Science or Economics/Adv Science (Hons) who complete MATH1031/1041, MATH1131/MATH1231, MATH1141/MATH1241 instead of ECON1202/ECON1203 have the option of counting the MATH pair towards the Science component and must complete 2 additional Economics electives (4 in total) OR towards the Economics component and must complete 2 additional Science electives.

Students in combined Economics/Adv Mathematics (Hons) must count the MATH pair towards their Science component and will therefore complete 24 UOC of Economics electives.
