Economics specialisation
The
Department of Economics offers two-year and three-year sequences in economics
and a fourth-year honours program. For Bachelor of Economics, Bachelor of
Commerce and Bachelor of Accounting students, ECC1000 and ECC1010 are
compulsory. ECC2000 and ECC2010 are also compulsory for Bachelor of Economics
students, and these core subjects should be taken by all students wishing to
take a major sequence in economics. Such students should also take at least
four other subjects from the Department of Economics, of which at least two
should be third-year subjects.
Students wishing to pursue a major sequence in economic history should take the
first-year economic history subjects ECC1510 and ECC1520 and at least four
other economic history subjects, at least two being third year. Economic
history subjects offered at second and third-year levels are ECC2500/ECC3500,
ECC2510/ECC3510, ECC2540/ECC3540, ECC2550/ECC3550, ECC2560/ECC3560, ECC2520/ECC3520, ECC3750,
ECC3820 and ECC3570.
Students of the faculty may also pursue minor sequences in economics, including
economic history, by taking three second or third-year subjects from the
department. Students may also select individual subjects (provided the
appropriate prerequisites are satisfied) to complement specialisations in other
areas.
