The Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics offers two first-year subjects, ETC1000 and ETC1010, both of which are compulsory for undergraduate students enrolled in the Bachelor of Accounting, Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Economics, eight second-year subjects, nine third-year subjects and a fourth-year honours program.
There is a quota on these subjects for students enrolled for degrees in other faculties.
Note that students
cannot obtain credit for both ETC1010 and ETC2010. The subject ETC2400 provides
the foundation for third-year subjects in econometrics, and students who plan
to take a major in econometrics are strongly advised to take it. In addition,
such students would find passes in first-year mathematics helpful. Students
should refer to the details of the third-year subjects to ascertain the
specific prerequisites. Other students who wish to proceed to work in economic
statistics at the third-year level should take ETC2410. ETC2400 and ETC2410
cover the same material but from different perspectives. ETC2400 places more
emphasis on the statistical theory which underlies econometrics, while ETC2410
takes a much more applied approach. Those interested in business modelling
should take ETC2480, ETC2490 together with ETC2400 and ETC2450.
All the subjects listed above except ETC2010 have as a prerequisite a pass in
ETC1010 or ETC2010 or ETC1031. Further prerequisites and restrictions are
prescribed in the outline of individual subjects.
Students enrolled for a pass degree may select one or more of the third-year subjects taught by the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics other than ETC3470.
