Only those subjects which do not have pre-requisite, most of them are level 1 or 2, but only very few or need to do with other subject at the same time.

You're looking at the wrong one. Try:
200048 Financial Institutions and Markets
200101 Accounting Information for Managers

Both level 1 introductory courses for their respective majors... also neither have prerequisites

Firstly, if you are doing university to increase your knowledge about different fields good on you.

Secondly, if you think you cant 'handle' a course at UWS, maybe you should quit tertiary education (save on about 25k worth of HECS) and go do trade or apprenticeships instead.

He was looking at a level 7 postgraduate unit as an elective - of course it's unsuitable for him.
I have pointed to the equivalent undergrad unit which is level 1 and and without any prerequisites, I'm sure he'll be fine doing that one.

If you want an introductory accounting course - accounting information for managers is the best bet. Financial statement analysis doesn't really seem like an introductory course, and accounting is an area where you must know the basics or you will fail.

Principles of economics won't really teach you anything about money and financial intelligence. It's just the basics of micro + macro economics which is basically all theories.

Look, you seem to be making this harder for yourself lol. Since you're not a business student it's probably best to start with the introductory first year business units.

 

[dude01]

Oh, and no you can't enrol as an external student for principles of economics. As it says, the external option is only available to those who have property as their key program in the business course.
