Joint studies
For a joint study either from within the Faculty of Commerce or consisting of subjects from another Faculty, students must take an established sequence or set of five subjects. Established sequences and/or sets are determined by the Faculty Board. Students must ensure they take the necessary prerequisites. Students must also add further subjects (if needed) to bring the total number of subjects in the course to 24.
If a joint study is chosen from those offered within the Faculty of Commerce, it must be in an area other than that of the specialisation chosen. No more than two subjects can be counted towards both a specialisation and a joint study. A student cannot claim more than one joint study.
