Stream Outline
The Commerce Honours program is designed for students with the equivalent of a BCom degree with a major in Business Economics, Financial Economics or Business Strategy and Economic Management. There are prerequisite courses for the Business Economics specialisation that may be in addition to your specific major requirements and that must be completed prior to your Honours year.
To satisfy the Honours requirements, students complete an additional year of study, including Honours level courses (both compulsory and elective) and a research thesis in business economics. Full-time and part-time (during 3 semesters) study is available in this program. Mid-year entry to the BEc(Hons) is possible, but is typically recommended only for part-time study.
