School of Economics (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences)

Subject areas from other faculties

Students in certain degrees offered by the Business School may be able to complete a major and/or electives from another faculty of the University of Sydney (depending on credit point restrictions and approval of the faculty offering the major). For example, a language major from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, a major in Agricultural Economics from the Faculty of Agriculture and Environment, or a major in Biology from the Faculty of Science can be completed as a secondary major in the Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies).

The unit allowances for subject areas outside of the Business School for particular degrees are as follows:

  • Students in the Bachelor of Commerce can complete a maximum of 48 credit points from outside of the University of Sydney Business School.
  • Students in the Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies) can complete a maximum of 84 credit points from outside of the University of Sydney Business School.
  • Students enrolled in combined Bachelor of Commerce degrees should refer to their individual degree rules for specific non-Business School unit limits. In all combined Bachelor of Commerce degrees, students must complete a minimum of 96 credit points in units offered by the University of Sydney Business School. Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws cannot complete any units other than those offered by the Business School and Sydney Law School.

Students should refer to the other faculty's handbooks for details of available major areas of study and unit of study requirements (sydney.edu.au/handbooks).
