WOO somebody else doing the exact same combo as me.

You need to complete your core/compulsory courses within your first year. Four of the economics courses have no prerequisites, so you'll need to be choosing your 3 economics courses for your first semester from these, in addition to another level 1 Arts course from a Major area you think you'd like to pursue later on (you have to do three level 1 courses before you can take level 2 courses, so they pretty much force you to test the waters of different areas of Arts before you select your Major, which will happen in your 2nd year).

For my first year I've chosen ACCT1501 (Accounting & Financial Mgt 1A), ARTS1361 (Philosophy, Knowledge, Reality), ECON1101 (Microeconomics 1) and ECON1203 (Business & Economic Statistics). My timetable works out as so:

Make sure you're looking at the 2011 student handbook as well. I became confused several times by looking at the handbook from earlier years.

hey i thought the core courses were:

• ACCT1501 Accounting & Financial Mgt 1A (6 UOC)
• ECON1101 Microeconomics 1 (6 UOC)
• ECON1102 Macroeconomics 1 (6 UOC)
• ECON1202 Quantitative Analysis (6 UOC)
• ECON1203 Business & Economic Statistics (6 UOC)
• ECON1401 Economic Analysis (6 UOC)

how come you didnt do them all?

You can only do 24 UOC per semester. Each course is 6 UOC, so if you choose take 4 it adds up perfectly.

If you do 6 Economics courses and 2 Arts courses in your first year (3 and 1 each semester, thereby completing all your compulsories as advised in the Handbook), and then 4 of each in each subsequent year it adds up to the required 132 UOC for Economics and 108 UOC for Arts, meeting the overarching 240 UOC program requirement in the process.

Even if you were allowed to do a greater number of UOC/semester, you wouldn't be able to, as ECON1401 (Economic Analysis) and ECON1102 (Macroeconomics 1) have other core courses as prerequisites.

Trust me, I spent about 3 days working this stuff out for myself :~)

how long does it take to complete one UOC course?

 

[Arceupins]

how long does it take to complete one UOC course?

How did you even complete the HSC if you can't work out stuff like this?

If the entire program is 5 years, and requires the completion of 40 courses totalling 240 UOC with a semester cap of 24 UOC, how long is each course going to be?
