A
wide range of graduate programs in business and economics is offered for
students with different backgrounds and with different aspirations. They differ
in terms of objectives, prerequisites, content and fees. There are four main
categories: executive certificates, graduate certificates, graduate diplomas
and masters degrees which are professionally oriented and provide a
cross-disciplinary training to develop professional expertise; masters degrees
which develop and extend the knowledge of the particular discipline gained in
the relevant graduate diploma; and postgraduate diplomas, masters degrees and
the PhD which extend and develop knowledge of a particular discipline gained in
the undergraduate degree.
The professionally oriented executive certificates, graduate certificates,
graduate diplomas and some masters degrees are aimed at providing skills for
improving graduates' capacity in a wide range of business and government
positions. For the most part they are available to graduates with a pass degree
in any area of study together with relevant employment experience; entry to
executive certificates is available to candidates without a first degree who
have extensive relevant employment experience. Full-time, part-time and
distance education modes are available. Areas of study include accounting,
agribusiness, Asian business, banking and finance, business management,
economics, econometrics, electronic commerce, human resource management,
international business, industrial and employee relations, logistics
management, marketing, regional economic development, retail and wholesale
studies, taxation and tourism management.
The combined knowledge development and knowledge extension masters degrees
build upon the cross-disciplinary knowledge gained in the relevant graduate
diploma by developing specialist discipline knowledge at the masters level.
They are available to graduates with either a graduate diploma or an honours
degree in the relevant discipline. Areas of study include agribusiness, banking
and finance, human resource management, industrial and employee relations,
international business, logistics management, management, marketing,
organisational systems, retail and wholesale management, and taxation.
Cumulative specialist discipline knowledge courses include postgraduate
diplomas, masters degrees and the PhD. Postgraduate diplomas in advanced
accounting, commerce, economics, financial management, health economics and
evaluation, and marketing are available to candidates with a pass degree in the
relevant discipline. The masters degrees are available to candidates with an
honours degree or an equivalent postgraduate diploma in the proposed area of
study and involve a mixture of advanced coursework and the preparation of a
research thesis. Specialist disciplines available for study in cumulative
specialist discipline knowledge courses include accounting, banking, economic
history, economics, econometrics, finance, management and marketing. A number
of Commonwealth Government and Monash University scholarships are available to
students undertaking research degrees.

This genre of courses provides a wide introduction to business analytical thinking and applications in the early part of study (executive certificates, graduate certificates, graduate diplomas) with a more focused problem area emphasis in the second part of studies (relevant masters degree).
Executive
certificates are normally completed in one semester of full-time study or
part-time equivalent.
Executive certificates have been introduced by the faculty to allow entry for
experienced managers without a first degree who have at least six years
relevant employment experience. Executive certificates provide articulation
opportunities into graduate diplomas for students who attain an average grade
of credit or above throughout their studies.
Graduate
certificates are normally completed in one semester of full-time study or
part-time equivalent.
Candidates for admission to graduate certificate courses require a pass degree
in any discipline or an equivalent qualification and, usually, relevant
employment experience. Students who complete the requirements for a graduate
certificate may articulate to the relevant graduate diploma.
Graduate
diplomas are normally completed in two semesters of full-time study or
part-time equivalent.
Candidates for admission require a pass degree in any discipline or an
equivalent qualification and, usually, relevant employment experience. Students
who complete a graduate diploma with an average grade of credit or above may
apply for admission into the relevant masters degree.
These
masters degrees are normally completed in three to four semesters of full-time
study or part-time equivalent.
Candidates for admission require a pass degree in any discipline from a
recognised tertiary institution or may complete the relevant graduate diploma
before applying for entry.
These
degrees are normally completed in two semesters of full-time study or part-time
equivalent.
These masters degrees build upon the cross-disciplinary knowledge gained in the
relevant graduate diploma by developing specialist discipline knowledge at the
masters level. Candidates for admission require either an honours degree or a
graduate diploma in the relevant discipline completed with an average grade of
credit or above. Graduates have a tendency to move within related functions in
business, government and the professions. Candidates for these masters degrees
may apply for consideration for PhD candidature provided a significant research
component has been completed at upper second class honours level or
equivalent.
This genre of courses builds on a three-year bachelor major in a particular discipline to fourth-year level courses in the same discipline (honours or postgraduate diploma), then a masters degree and a PhD. The emphasis is on knowledge of discipline methodology and its application. Graduates have a tendency to move into academic, government, international agency and large business specialist positions.
These
postgraduate diplomas are normally completed in two semesters of full-time
study or part-time equivalent.
Candidates for admission require a pass degree with a major in the discipline,
or a closely related discipline, or an equivalent qualification. Students who
complete the postgraduate diploma with at least second class honours may
articulate to the relevant masters degree.
These
masters degrees are normally completed in two to three semesters of full-time
study or part-time equivalent.
Cumulative masters degrees build further on the specific discipline knowledge
gained in the relevant postgraduate diploma or honours year. Candidates for
admission to cumulative masters degrees require either an honours degree or a
postgraduate diploma with an average grade of 70% or above. Candidates for
cumulative masters degrees may apply for PhD candidature. In some cases, the
candidature may be upgraded without the need to complete the masters degree,
provided certain requirements are met.
This
degree is normally completed in three years of full-time equivalent study.
Candidates for admission to the PhD require a four-year honours degree with a
major in the discipline, or a masters degree in an approved field, or an
equivalent qualification.
