2014 Dual Program Structure
It is important that you read and understand the following information.
To be eligible to enrol in a dual degree program you must ensure that you satisfy the entry
requirements for both programs.
Once enrolled it is your responsibility to ensure that you complete all the requirements for each
section of this dual program in order to graduate with both degrees. The following information is
designed to help you plan your enrolment to meet this goal. Further information can be found in the
Official rules and Course lists under the Program Rules and Requirements link for each program in
the Programs and Courses website:
http://www.uq.edu.au/study/
You are not required to submit this program plan for approval. However, if you have any questions or
concerns about meeting degree requirements, especially when you are nearing the end of your
program, please contact the relevant Faculty for advice.
Please note: Students exiting early with one component of a dual degree must complete the single
degree requirements of that component. Students will then be required to follow the single degree
rules to complete the remaining component from that dual degree.

Courses can only count towards one program (not both). Students may not count ECON2300 towards
the Finance major, as it is a compulsory course for the BEcon. Students cannot count FINM2401
towards the International Trade & Finance major, as it is a compulsory BCom course.
Students wishing to complete a BEcon major will need to complete an approved combination of #14
from the BEcon List for the relevant major (of which #6 must be level 3 courses) which also meet the
BEcon Group 2, 3 and elective program requirements.
