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 10 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.

academic semesters, two units each semester. Students will be required to

another faculty. Such units will complement the chosen area of specialisation
and will also be adapted for accelerated learning by off-campus distributed
learning.
Assessment is by a combination of assignments and final examination for each unit. Generally, a pass is required in the final examination to pass the unit.
Applicants who have completed graduate-level units at a recognised tertiary institution within the last five years which are similar in content to a unit forming part of the course of study may apply for a credit exemption to a maximum of 50 per cent of the course.
