Notes
Economics provides training in logical thought and analysis which can be applied widely in everyday decision-making, not just to matters which are usually labelled 'economic'. The underlying philosophy of the faculty's teaching and research program is that a rapidly changing world requires adaptable, analytical skills. Accordingly, its aim is to prepare students with a wide range of career options that are readily adapted to the issues of the day. These may be positions in industry, government, non-government and international organisations.
In the new information economy, professionals are confronted with masses of data. They are expected to apply econometric methods to analyse this data and provide evidence to management for informed decision-making. The applied econometrics programs are designed to develop expertise in this area, by providing quantitative skills to carry out regression analysis, forecasting, financial market analysis and survey data analysis.

This major is offered in conjunction with the School of Mathematics Sciences in the Faculty of Science. Its introduction responds to a national and international shortage of skilled workers in the finance and insurance industries, most notably workers with a rigorous mathematical training. The major can complement any other specialisation within the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics degree families (including the associated joint degrees). However, it serves as a particularly suitable complement to specialisations in economics, finance, econometrics, actuarial studies or mathematics. The major should appeal to students who are interested in graduating with high level technical and analytical skills. The acquisition of such skills will not only give graduates a distinct advantage in the competitive job market, but will also provide excellent grounding for postgraduate (masters and PhD) study.
To complete the financial and insurance mathematics major in the Bachelor of Commerce students must complete:

Notes
Whether operating in the corporate, government or non-profit sectors, organisations worldwide highly value managers that are able to multi-skill, work well with people, operate across an entire organisation and see the bigger picture.
The management discipline reflects upon and responds to the external and internal challenges and demands currently faced by managers. Rapid growth in new technologies, intense global competition, the elimination of industry boundaries and the opening of previously closed global markets have characterised the start of the new millennium. As a consequence, the skills necessary to deal with this complex and varied range of factors are necessarily complex and varied themselves.
The discipline content focuses on flexibility and agility at an individual and organisational level. It does so by exploring the fundamentals of individual, group and organisational behaviour and performance, organisational dynamics and the importance of self-awareness, learning and self-management. It also focuses on leadership, change, learning and strategy.
Students will develop an understanding of leadership theory and practice, the means by which change is initiated and supported, the methods for creating, disseminating and applying knowledge, and the theory and application of holistic, systemic and non-linear thinking. The discipline allows students to develop the knowledge and skills required to integrate the demands of maintaining internal stability within the organisation and adaptive capability in the external environment.

Marketing is a fun, dynamic, complex activity (and discipline) that focuses on providing value to both organisations and consumers. Very simply, marketing is about matching what an organisation has (or can do) with someone who wants it. Marketing is about selling, it is about advertising, but it also so much more. The study and practice of the 'so much more' is what makes marketing so interesting!
In today's dynamic and global business environment, marketing permeates all areas of operations and forms an integral element of business growth and achievement. Highly qualified, innovative and international marketing practitioners, supported by well researched and pertinent marketing knowledge, are increasingly in demand.

Continuous improvement and reform are recurring themes for governments throughout the world. This requires the knowledge and skills to understand, manage and adapt to change in fields as diverse as governance, service delivery, management and public enterprise. Global moves towards competitive, flexible and managerial models of public administration force political leaders and managers to face challenges such as sophisticated regulation of privatised utilities, managing contracted services and active engagement with citizens. These challenges are likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
The public policy discipline will provide managers with the analytical and managerial skills to deal effectively with continued pressure for reduced budgets, more rigorous accountability and improved services.
