Notes
1. Students must include the following management subjects in the course: MGG1302 (Management theory and functions) and MGG2323 (Industrial relations).
2. Candidates must comply with the following Bachelor of Business requirements. A candidate must complete: (i)a major study of a least six semester subjects in at least one business teaching area, and two submajors of at least four semester subjects in two other business teaching areas, or (ii)two major studies of at least six semester subjects in two business teaching areas. Accounting, economics, management, marketing are available as majors and/ or submajors whilst law and computing are available as submajors.
3. If one business major only is taken other than management then one submajor must be management otherwise the fourth-year subjects will total 61.5 credit points.
4. Students who have passed GCO1851 (Computers in business) are not required to do GEG1123 (Engineering computing tools).
5. A minimum of 252 credit points must be achieved.
