BEc degree specifications which are printed in full in
the Calendar.
Combined degree with Law
To complete the Bachelor of Economics, units to a value
of 300% must be passed, including a maximum of 125%
from 100-level units, a maximum of 100% from 200level units, and a minimum of 75% from 300-level units.
Students enrolled for the BEc may, starting in Year 2,
combine studies with the Bachelor of Laws (LLB)
degree, in a course taking five years full time. Quotas
apply.
In the Schedule which follows, Groups 1, 2 and 3 mean
Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 units from units offered by
the Faculty of Commerce & Economics and Groups 1A,

by departments in other Faculties.
The BEc-LLB provides a strong basis for a subsequent
career in business or public administration, where there
is a need for an understanding of the relationships
between economic decisions and legal constraints and
requirements.
It is possible to count a number of units from other
departments, for example: Administration, Information

Articulation with other courses
The Bachelor of Information Systems may articulate
with other courses and degrees, such as those offered
through TAFE, and by other tertiary institutions. The
transfer arrangements will be determined on an
individual student basis and will depend on the
standing of the student and the relationship between
units completed elsewhere and the units required in
this degree.

requirements including in the case of Tasmanian
school-leavers TCE *MT730 Mathematics Applied.
Students planning to take the Professional Chemistry
major require TCE *CH856 Chemistry and *MT841
Mathematics Stage 2.
Course objectives
The objectives of the combined degrees are:
• to complement traditional studies in a group of
science courses with a wide range of management,
accounting, marketing and business skills;
• to broaden the opportunities for complementary
undergraduate studies and, as appropriate, relevant
graduate studies for both commerce and science
students.
Course structure
To qualify for the combined degrees, students must
satisfy the compulsory requirements for the Bachelor of
Commerce and the Bachelor of Applied Science.
The Bachelor of Applied Science includes three
specialist strands: Applied Science (General),
Professional Chemistry and Aquaculture. In each case
the Commerce majors may be selected from
Management, Accounting, Marketing and International
Business. In the Applied Science strand, majors may be
selected from Applied Biology, Chemistry, Geography
and Physics.
In the case of the Aquaculture majors a component of
the requirements of the Bachelor of Applied Science is
the undertaking of a practicum of a minimum of eight
weeks during the summer break (normally preceding
the final year) on commercial aquacultural facilities.
The structure of the course is summarised in the
following tables shown as Sample Course Structure and
specified in the schedules of the two courses, as
contained in the relevant faculty sections of this
handbook. Refer also to the BCom and BAppSc degree
specifications which are printed in full in the Calendar.
