Essential Common Modules
These modules replace the essential Economics module, EC2303 Foundations of Econometrics. These modules are alternative prerequisites for the later essential module, EC3303 Econometrics I. DDP students must read one of these modules even if they have already taken EC2303.

* The 1-MC deficit for Essential Common Module is plugged by a 1-MC excess for Common Modules.
** Even though there is a 1-MC deficit, students can still fulfil the minimum requirement of at least 84 MCs of EC-coded or EC-recognized modules.
Common Modules
Students need to take at least one BEng module and one Economics module from this list:
