ECON courses at 2000 and above level will be included in the calculation of Major GPA for honours classification.
[a]
Students who have obtained grade 3 or above in both the compulsory part and Module 1 (Calculus and Statistics) of the HKDSE Mathematics examination may, upon application, be exempted from ECON1101, in which case the Major Programme Requirement will be reduced by 2 units.
Students who have obtained grade 3 or above in both the compulsory part and Module 2 (Algebra and Calculus) of the HKDSE Mathematics examination are not required to take ECON1101. The Major Programme Requirement for these students will be reduced by 2 units.
Students who have obtained (i) grade B or above in GCE Mathematics (AL) and grade B or above in GCE Further Mathematics (AL) or (ii) grade B or above in GCE Mathematics (AL) and grade B or above in GCE Pure Mathematics (AL) are not required to take ECON1101. The Major Programme Requirement for these students will be reduced by 2 units.
[b]
Students are allowed to take ECON courses at 5000 or above level to fulfill the Elective Courses requirement, subject to the consent of the course instructor.
[c]
Students may declare a concentration area (i) after the requisite courses for the concentration area have been completed, or (ii) in the same term that the requisite courses are expected to be completed. Upon completion of all requisite courses for a concentration area, such concentration area will be indicated on academic transcripts.
[d]
Students are required to declare which MATH course is to be counted towards the requirement of the Economic Theory concentration area at their final term of attendance.
