Essential Common Modules

Students need to complete MA1505 Mathematics I (4 MCs) and MA1506 Mathematics II (4 MCs) which are EC-recognised modules that can be used to fulfil the Economics major requirement.

Students also need to complete one of the following modules in lieu of EG2401 Engineering Professionalism for Engineering. They can be used to satisfy the Humanities exposure module for FASS:

  • PH2208 Applied Ethics (4 MCs)
  • PH2218 Business Ethics (4 MCs)
  • PH2223 Introduction to the Philosophy of Technology (4 MCs)

Students who are taking double honours need to complete an additional essential common module based on their Engineering programme. 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.
