Course
director: Dr Gennadi Kazakevitch
The course has been designed for graduates from non-economics disciplines who
wish to gain a formal qualification in applied economic studies. Alternatively,
students may hold a degree in commerce or business during which they completed
only the equivalent of first-year economics or which is of no more than ten
years standing. The course will target local and international students who are
unable to study full-time or who do not have access to a university campus for
campus-based part-time study.
On completion of the course students should:
Applicants require a pass degree or equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution or an executive certificate from this faculty with an average grade of credit or above.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult the School of Business and Electronic Commerce as to the 1999 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
The graduate diploma is normally completed in four semesters of part-time study.
This course is offered by distance education from the School of Business and Electronic Commerce.
Credits and exemptions may be granted for maximum of four subjects of relevant partially completed graduate studies. The merit of applications for credits and exemptions will be determined on a case by case basis. It is essential that subjects submitted for credit or exemption fit the philosophy and principles of this graduate course of study. Subjects studied more than five years ago are regarded as beyond a reasonable time limit for applicability and therefore not acceptable for credit/exemption.
The Graduate Diploma in Applied Economics will normally be completed during four academic semesters, two subjects each semester. Students will be required to complete two core subjects and six electives. The electives are currently existing subjects taught within the major in economics of the Bachelor of Business degree and adapted for accelerated learning level and studied by distance education:

The list of elective subjects
may be extended to include existing undergraduate economics subjects offered at
the second and third-year levels on other campuses. Such subjects would be
adapted for accelerated learning by distance education.
Students will also have the opportunity to select up to two elective subjects
from another faculty. Such subjects will complement the chosen area of
specialisation and will also be adapted for accelerated learning by distance
education.
