The course involves four years of full-time study or the equivalent in part-time or off-campus study.

Course requirements

Units with a total credit value of at least 96 points from the Faculty of Science and 108 points from the Faculty of Business and Economics are to be completed, meeting the following requirements.
(a) Completion of six compulsory introductory six-point units, one in each of the following business disciplines:

Note that students who complete the science unit STA1010 will be exempted from the compulsory unit ETX1642 (Business mathematical sciences), thereby reducing the total course requirement from 204 points to 198 points.
