Course code: To be advised · The following describes the new course structure, to be introduced for the first time in 2000

Course structure*

All first, second and third-year subjects offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics have a credit value of six points. Full-time students are expected to progress at the rate of eight subjects or 48 credit points per year. First-year students normally may not take a second-year subject until at least four first-year subjects have been completed successfully. It should be noted that subjects in the later years of the course have prerequisites and corequisites. In addition, students are expected to take subjects in a yearly sequence even if there are no prerequisite subjects specified. Specialisations are available in accounting, finance, economics, business law and taxation, econometrics and business statistics, marketing and management.
Students are required to complete the following compulsory subjects:

• · ECC1000 and ECC1100/ECC2100 Economics
• · ETC1000 and ETC1010/ETC2010 Business and economic statistics
• · AFC1021/AFC1022 Accounting principles
• · AFC1100/AFC2100 Introduction to finance
• · MGC1010 and MGC1020/MGC2020 Introduction to management
• · MKC1200/MKC2200 Principles of marketing
• · BTC1110/BTC2110 Business law

Students intending to qualify for membership of a professional accounting body (as defined by students who complete either AFC3120 or AFC3160) may omit either ETC1010/ETC2010 or MGC1020/MGC2020. However, it is strongly advised that the faculty considers it desirable that even those seeking such membership would benefit from completing both of the above subjects. Students wishing to take first-year subjects other than those on the above list are able to undertake the second-year versions of the appropriate number of compulsory subjects. This allows students to complete substantial work in related fields such as languages, computing, psychology, or mathematics.
The following are requirements of the course:

• · satisfactory completion of 24 subjects, or subjects to the value of a total of 144 credit points, over three full-time years or a maximum of 10 years of study
• · a maximum of 10 first-year-level subjects (60 credit points)
• · a minimum of six third-year-level subjects (36 credit points) of which at least four must be from those offered in the faculty at the campus delivering this program
• · completion of a major in a discipline or field of study of the faculty. This requires students to complete 48 points of study in a single discipline or field of study with at least 12 points at each of second and third-year level (disciplines are defined by department prefixes and fields of study are those sets of related subjects that may be defined in the catalogue of courses and subject)
• · at least four non-compulsory subjects (24 credit points) outside the main field of study
• · an option to include subjects to a maximum value of 36 credit points from disciplines outside the faculty or from an approved list of faculty subjects offered on campuses other than Clayton.

Students must have their program of study approved by the course director or the course director's nominee prior to commencement of the relevant year.
