Course Structure

BSc Access Route (EMF SS )

The Access route has been designed to provide you with an entry route to the degrees in the fields of Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences (EMF SS ) if you do not meet our entrance requirements and are unable to study at an institution.

You must take two units and pass both in order to successfully complete the Access route. The minimum period of registration for the Access route is one year, the maximum is three years, and you will be examined to the same standard as the Foundation units of the degrees.

Two units only

Chosen from:

• 02 Introduction to Economics
• 04a Statistics 1 (half unit) and 04b Statistics 2 (half unit)
• 05a Mathematics 1 (half unit) and 05b Mathematics 2 (half unit)
• 04a Statistics 1 (half unit) and 05a Mathematics 1 (half unit)
• 09 Human Geography
• 11 Introduction to International Relations
• 21 Principles of Sociology
• 34 World History since 1917
• 96 Economic History in the 20th century
• 114 Democratic Politics and the State
• 130 Introduction to Modern Political Thought

If you are applying for the Access route with the intention of proceeding to one of the degrees in Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences, you should choose your units with care. Consider the Foundation units that are available on the degree that interests you and choose units that are common to both that degree and the Access route. This will help to ensure that, when you successfully complete the Access route, you will receive credit for the units you have passed. If you choose to study 02 Introduction to Economics, you should be aware that this unit will require you to be comfortable with the graphic representation of mathematical/economic functions.
