Important Notes:

Note 1: Students who have passed any MA module that is not MA1301 or MA1311 or MA1312 or MA1421 or any 2 MCs MA modules are allowed to read any level-2000 or level-3000 EC elective or EC-recognized module in lieu of EC2104. Likewise, not more than one level-1000 MA module can be used together with EC2104 for fulfilling major requirements.

Note 2: Students who have passed any ST module or MA2216 or DSC1007 or DSC1007X are allowed to read any level-2000 or level-3000 EC elective or EC-recognised module in lieu of EC2303. Please note that ST1131 is a preclusion to EC2303. Therefore, ST1131 and EC2303 cannot be counted as two 4-MC modules for the fulfilment of the Economics major requirements.

Note 3: ST3131 is a preclusion to EC3303. Students who have passed ST3131 need not read EC3303. ST3131 is an EC-recognised module that can be counted towards the requirements for the Economics major requirements.

Note 4: In order to obtain Honours (Highest Distinction), students are required to achieve a CAP of 4.5 or higher AND a Pass grade in the Economics Honours Thesis (EC4401). To qualify for the Economics Honours Thesis, students are required to complete 110 MCs including 40 MCs of EC major requirements with a minimum SJAP of 4.0 and CAP of 3.5.

Note 5: Students who are not aiming to graduate with Honours (Highest Distinction) will read a minimum of 20MCs of EC modules at level-4000 or higher

Note 6: Students may apply to read a level-4000 Independent Studies module (ISM) if they meet the pre-requisites of the module - Completed 100 MCs including 40 MCs of EC major requirements with a minimum CAP of 3.2. The level-4000 ISM counts towards requirement (10) above and precludes the Economics Honours Thesis (EC4401).

Note 7: Students may read a maximum of 8MCs of EC5000R modules to count towards requirement (10) above.

Note 8: All level-4000 modules carry a general pre-requisite of having completed 80 MCs, including 28 MCs in the Major, with a minimum CAP of 3.2 OR being on the Honours track (some level-4000 modules may have different pre-requisites).
