It is important that you read and understand the following information.
To be eligible to enrol in a dual degree program you must ensure that you satisfy the entry requirements for both
programs.
Once enrolled it is your responsibility to ensure that you complete all the requirements for each section of this
dual program in order to graduate with both degrees. The following information is designed to help you plan your
enrolment to meet this goal. Further information can be found in the Official Rules and Course lists under the
Program Rules and Requirements link for each program in the Programs and Courses website:

Please note: Students exiting early with one component of a dual degree must complete the single degree

*STAT1201 is compulsory for the BSc but an exemption will apply for students who complete ECON1310.
**ECON1050 is incompatible with MATH1050 and/or MATH1051. If you are required to take MATH1050 or MATH1051 for
the BSc, an exemption will apply for ECON1050. If you are exempt from ECON1050 you are required to take a #2 BEcon
course from group 2 or 3 of the BEcon course list as a replacement.
When this program is studied at a standard load of 4 courses per semester, the final semester will comprise part-time study of
only two courses. Students may decide to overload in some semesters or undertake study in a summer semester to reduce the
total duration of the program.
A major in BEcon requires careful planning; please contact your Student Experience Officer in the BEL Faculty for assistance
if required.
Ensure your majors for the BEcon and BSc are correctly listed on mySI-net.
