Economics

Units taught by the department

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 ECC1100/ECC2100 are compulsory. ECC2000 and ECC2010 are also compulsory for Bachelor of Economics students, and these core units should be taken by all students wishing to take a major sequence in economics. Such students should also take at least four other units from the Department of Economics, of which at least two should be third-year units.
Students wishing to pursue a major sequence in economic history should take the first-year economic history unit ECC1510 and at least four other economic history units, at least two being third year. Economic history units offered at second and third-year levels are ECC2500/ ECC3500, ECC2510/ECC3510, 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 units from the department. Students may also select individual units (provided the appropriate prerequisites are satisfied) to complement specialisations in other areas.
