Electives

Students must choose nine (9) electives either by:

  • completing a joint study in another discipline area, which will be included on the testamur, and adding the number of free electives needed to bring the total number of subjects to 24; or by
  • selecting nine (9) free electives. A free elective is any undergraduate subject offered by Charles Sturt University provided prerequisites and enrolment restrictions have been met.

Note that at least four (4) electives must be Business or Business related subjects.

Students must ensure that there are no more than twelve (12) level one subjects in their degree. Students must also ensure that they complete a minimum of five (5) level three subjects in their degree. The level of a subject is designated by the first digit in the subject code, e.g. MGT100 is a level one subject.

In addition, students wishing to meet accreditation requirements for ASIC must complete FIN340 FIN350 FIN360 FIN370 LAW330 and ECO220. Two of these subjects will count towards the number of required electives. In addition, FIN221 and FIN331 must also be completed as part of their elective choice. Note that students undertaking this group of subjects should consult with their Course Manager to discuss options in regard to the completion of a Joint Study.

Joint Studies

Students may also undertake a joint study, aprescribed set of subjects taken from a discipline other than the chosen specialisation. Students are then able to use the title of the joint study in conjunction with the specialisation (e.g. Bachelor of Business (Management/Finance).
