Some
similarities and differences exist in these bachelors courses. Guidance is
frequently sought as to why a prospective applicant should select one course
instead of another. The following information may be helpful.
Similarities in the bachelor degree courses
* They include a general multi-disciplinary introduction to the course over the first and part of the second year.
* Major sequences are available in one or two disciplines during the second and third years.
* Students are provided with the skills to understand and analyse the Australian and international economies.
* Australian and international students are provided with skills and experiences to enable them to embark on an interesting and productive career over a lifetime as educated people.
Differences between the bachelor degree courses
* The Bachelor of Business(Multidiscipline), Bachelor of Business Studies, Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics degrees allow students to choose one or two discipline majors. These generic degrees provide a base of a minimum of six compulsory subjects and allow students considerable flexibility in their choice of discipline majors. The courses provide a range of specific disciplines and a student's choice of major study may be made at the end of the first year of study.
* The specialist discipline business degrees offered at the Caulfield and Peninsula campuses provide a general multidiscipline business base of normally thirteen subjects. They focus on a particular vocation and show their specialisation or discipline area in the title. Courses are structured in accordance with the requirements of the specialised discipline major.
* While all four campuses teach their courses in the on-campus study mode, some courses are also offered by distance education, and teaching in some courses is also available through Open Learning Australia. Students undertaking the undergraduate courses on the Clayton and Peninsula campuses are almost entirely school-leavers with the majority studying full-time. The Caulfield campus enrolments include many part-time students, as well as full-time students, and the campus has evening classes. More than seventy per cent of the students enrolled at the Gippsland campus are studying by distance education.
