can i change 

316-XXX <any level 300 economics subject>

to a 300finance subject if i want to do honour in finance

you don't need to, you already meet the requirements of finance honours by doing:
316-317 Econometrics
333-301 Investments
333-302 Corporate Finance

and can i move the level 300 breadth to 2nd year? eg bus law and company law in sem1 and 2 of 1st year. and taxation law in 2nd year

no. Students may not enrol in level-2 commerce subjects until they have completed or gained credit for at least 75 level-1 points. Taxation law counts a breadth subject so i guess your 3rd year program would look like:

316-312 Macroeconomics
316-313 Microeconomics
316-XXX <any level 300 economics subject>
316-317 Econometrics
333-301 Investments
333-302 Corporate Finance
333-309 Derivative Securities
732-303 Taxation Law

If you wanted to be eligible for Economics honours and Finance honours. Note that 316-313 Microeconomics and 316-317 Econometrics are only available in sem 1; and 316-312 Macroeconomics and 732-303 Taxation Law are only available in sem 2

i think that Taxation Law is already a breadth subject, i would only need 1 breadth in 3rd year, and have 3breadth in 2nd year, cos i want 4 finance and 3 eco subjects fitted in 3rd yr too

[joechan521]

btw which one is better out of  316-206 Quantitative Methods 2. and 316-205 Introductory Econometrics

[Collin Li]

316-205 Introductory Econometrics will be tougher, and I would recommend it. Engineering/Commerce students must do this one, it is compulsory for this double degree, so this lends to IE's credibility of being the mathematically superior subject.

Well if you want to do honours in Economics or Finance, you need to do Econometrics, so therefore Introductory Econometrics is the most relevant.

I think you just repeated what i said. Anyone what you want to do is this program for 3rd yr:
 
316-312 Macroeconomics
316-313 Microeconomics
316-XXX <any level 300 economics subject>
316-317 Econometrics
333-301 Investments
333-302 Corporate Finance
333-309 Derivative Securities
732-303 Taxation Law

Econometrics is needed for both Economics honours and Finance honours.

To be eligible for admission to honours in finance, students must have completed the requirements of the pass degree, must have achieved an average grade of H2B in at least four subjects offered within the Faculty of Economics and Commerce and must have achieved an H2B in at least three of the four subjects.

and on the course booklet i got today it detailed that they must be 4 level-3 subjects with a 333prefix.

k that's my question done

i think the deadline is the "census date"

[melodrama]

and then it's absolutely locked-in-concrete for the entire year?

[brendan]
