*STAT1201 is compulsory for the BSc but an exemption will apply for students who complete ECON1310.
**ECON1050 is incompatible with MATH1050 and/or MATH1051. Where students are required to take MATH1050 or
MATH1051 for the BSc, an exemption will apply for ECON1050. Students who are exempt from ECON1050 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 Academic Administration Officer in the BEL Faculty for
assistance if required.
Ensure your majors for the BEcon and BSc are correctly listed on mySI-net.
