Note 2: BSE3701 precludes EC2102. Students who have passed BSE3701 need not read EC2102. BSE3701 is an EC-recognised course that can be counted towards the requirements for the Second Major in Economics programme.

Note 3: Any MA course that is not MA1301/MA1301FC/MA1301X or MA1311 or MA1312 or MA1421 or any 2 units MA courses is a preclusion to EC2104. Students who have passed any MA course that is not MA1301/MA1301FC/MA1301X or MA1311 or MA1312 or MA1421 need not read EC2104. Students who have passed any MA course that is not MA1301/MA1301FC/MA1301X or MA1311 or MA1312 or MA1421 are required to read any level-2000 or level-3000 EC elective or EC-recognised course to meet the minimum of 40 units of EC-coded or EC-recognised courses for the Second Major in Economics programme. Students who have passed EC2104 are not allowed to count more than one level-1000 MA course together with EC2104 towards the Economics major requirements.

Note 4: All ST courses, DSC1007/DSC1007X, MA2216 are preclusion courses for EC2303. Students who have passed any ST course or DSC1007/DSC1007X or MA2216 need not read EC2303. Students who have passed any ST course or DSC1007/DSC1007X or MA2216 are required to read any level-2000 or level-3000 EC-coded elective or EC-recognised course to meet the minimum of 40 units of EC-coded or EC-recognised courses for the Second Major in Economics programme. Please note that ST1131 and EC2303 cannot be counted as two 4-units courses for the fulfilment of the Second Major in Economics requirements.

Note 5: ST3131 is a preclusion to EC3303. Students who have passed ST3131 need not read EC3303. ST3131 is an EC-recognised course that can be counted towards the requirements for the Second Major in Economics programme.
