•International Trade: ECON 101, 111 and MATHS 108 (or 150 or 153)

Conjoint degrees
Both the BCom and BProp can be taken as part of a conjoint degrees programme. Conjoint degrees not only offer an opportunity to acquire a
greater breadth of knowledge and skills but also provide a strong base for an exciting range of career options. A conjoint degrees programme
enables you to complete the requirements for two degrees concurrently, reducing the total time required by the equivalent of two years’ fulltime
study. If you are enrolling in a conjoint degrees programme, you need to seek programme planning advice on a regular basis from the student
advisers in the Student Centres for each of your degrees and use the degree planners provided.

enrolled in a fulltime load of 120 points) were:
