Course code: 0542
The following should be read in conjunction with the statement on the Bachelor of Commerce.
The combined degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Commerce require a minimum of four years full-time study, or five years for a degree with honours, or the equivalent in part-time study. Entry to this combination is based on the entry requirements for the Bachelor of Commerce degree. To qualify for the award of both degrees, candidates must meet the requirements of the commerce degree, together with one major sequence and one minor sequence from subjects offered in the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students must therefore complete subjects to the value of a minimum of 188 credit points over the length of the course, of which 108 points should come from subjects offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics (Clayton). The course structure is shown in chart 3 in the section `Charts of degree structures'.
Whilst there is a degree of flexibility in the course structure, students must normally complete the compulsory first-year commerce subjects ECM1020 and ECM1031/2 (Business and economic statistics), AAF1021/2 and AAF1031/2 (Accounting), and ECO1000 and ECO1010 (Economics) in the first-year of the course. These could be combined with the first-year subject sequence from arts to complete the first year program. The exception to this arrangement, however, is for those students wishing to undertake a management studies specialisation in their degree. In this case, students may delay the completion of one of the first-year compulsory subject sequences to a later year, in order to complete the subjects MGC1020 (Introduction to management) and MGC1030 (Organisational behaviour) in first year. Management studies would then become the category A specialisation for such students and the remaining first-year compulsory subjects would be counted as supporting subjects (category B) in second year.
Students wishing to complete an accounting specialisation, and who wish to become eligible for membership of the professional accounting bodies in Australia, must complete the following subjects: AAF1021/2, AAF1031/2, AAF2110, AAF2120, AAF2130, AAF2140, AAF3110, AAF3120, AAF3130 or AAF3140, AAF3150 and AAF3160.
In order to fit these subjects into the structure of the combined degree, students must substitute one additional third-year category A subject in accounting for a third-year category B subject.
Before enrolling for the combined degree, students should collect from the faculty office of either faculty an information sheet setting out a number of course structure options available for the combined degree.
Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Engineering
Course code: 0548
The following should be read in conjunction with the statement on the Bachelor of Commerce.
Entry to the combined degrees of Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Engineering is on the basis of a good first-year performance in the Bachelor of Engineering degree. The combined course is offered with chemical, civil, materials and mechanical engineering. To gain entry, students must complete the common first year of the Bachelor Engineering degree and then apply, on an internal transfer form, for entry to the combined degree. These degrees can be completed after a minimum of five years full-time study, or the equivalent part-time study. To complete the requirements for the commerce degree students must undertake:
* four first-year subject sequences: ECO1000, ECO1010, ECM1020, ECM1031/2, AAF1021/2, AAF1031/2, MGC1020 and MGC1030;
* three second-year subjects from one of the disciplines of economics, quantitative studies, accounting and finance or management which will form the basis of a specialisation;
* two additional second-year subjects from one of the disciplines of economics, quantitative studies, accounting and finance or management other than the area of specialisation;
* three third-year subjects from the area of specialisation.
Students interested in applying for this combination in 1995 are advised to collect a course information sheet from the Engineering faculty office.
Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws
Course code: 0548
The following should be read in conjunction with the statement on the Bachelor of Commerce.
The course structure is shown in chart 4 in the section `Charts of degree structures'.
Students may complete the combined degrees of Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws after a minimum of five years full-time study, or six years for the degree with honours, or the equivalent part-time study. The Bachelor of Commerce degree can be gained after three years study if students complete the requirements of the degree and include in their program the following law subjects: LAW1100 (Legal process), LAW2100 (Contract), LAW2200 (Torts) and one third-year subject, usually LAW3400 (Property). The inclusion of these subjects, each valued at twelve credit points, will mean that students will need to complete subjects from the Faculty of Business and Economics (Clayton) to the value of ninety-six credit points, instead of the 144 normally required to obtain the commerce degree. Students would then follow for the next two years a program comprising the compulsory subjects LAW3200 (Constitutional law), LAW3300 (Criminal law and procedure), LAW3100 (Administrative law) and LAW5500 (Moot court), and optional law subjects which total 180 value units. (Students should refer to the Faculty of Law handbook for details of these subjects.)
For those students wishing to complete an accounting specialisation, a third-year substitution similar to that described for the arts/commerce combination is required. Similarly, for those wishing to undertake a management studies specialisation, one first-year compulsory commerce subject sequence must be transferred to the second year of the course in order that MGC1020 (Introduction to management) and MGC1030 (Organisational behaviour) can be undertaken in the first year.
Students wishing to enrol in this combined degree should, before enrolment, collect an information sheet on the possible course structure options from either faculty office.
Bachelor of Music /Bachelor of Commerce
Course code: 1185
The following should be read in conjunction with the statement on the Bachelor of Commerce.
The double degree of Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Commerce requires a minimum of four years full-time study, or five years for degree with honours, or the equivalent in part-time study. Entry to this combined degree is based on the entry requirements for the Bachelor of Music and the Bachelor of Commerce degrees. To qualify for the award, students must complete subjects to the value of a minimum of 188 credit points over the length of the course, of which 96 points should come from subjects offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics and 92 points from subjects offered by the Faculty of Arts in the Bachelor of Music degree.
The course structure is shown in chart 5 in the section `Charts of degree structures'.
Students must normally complete the compulsory first year subjects ECM1020 and ECM1031/2 (Business and Economic Statistics), AAF1021/2 and AAF1031/2 (Accounting), and ECO1000 and ECO1010 (Economics) in the first year of the course. Each subject is worth 6 points. These could be combined with the first year subject sequence from music to complete the first year program. The exception to this arrangement however is for those students wishing to undertake a management studies specialisation in their degree. In this case, students may delay the completion of one of the first year compulsory sequences to a later year, in order to complete the subjects MGC1020 (Introduction to Management) and MGC1030 (Organisational Behaviour) in the first year. Management studies would then become the category A specialisation for such students. In subsequent years students choose a major sequence in at least one of the discipline areas of accounting and finance, economics, econometrics or management. This requires at least three subjects in the discipline at each of the second and third year levels.
Students wishing to complete a specialisation in accounting and finance, and who wish to become eligible for membership of the professional accounting bodies in Australia, must complete the following subjects: AAF1021/2, AAF1031/2, AAF2110, AAF2120, AAF2130, AAF2140, AAF3110, AAF3120, AAF3130 or AAF3140, AAF3150 or AAF3160.
Students choose 92 points in music from the following (* subjects are compulsory):
* MUS1100/1110 Exploring western music I and II (6 points)*
* MUS1140/1150 Ensemble and choral music workshop (6 points)
* MUS1070/1080 Orchestral performance and repertoire I and II (6 points)
* MUS1980/1990 Solo and duo performance and literature* (6 points)
* MUS1040 Music and popular culture in the twentieth century (6 points)
* MUS2110/2120 Analytical and compositional techniques* (4 points each

* MUS3910 Music of Sub-saharan Africa (8 points)
* MUS3970 Music pedagogy (8 points)
* MUS3980/3990 Solo and duo performance and literature* (6 points each)
Before enrolling for the double degree, students should collect from the faculty office of either faculty an information sheet setting out a number of course structure options available for the combined degree.
