Undergraduate courses

The provision of elective subjects allows students to further develop their expertise in the relevant degree or major discipline, or to develop other areas of expertise. Students may select subjects offered by another faculty.
At Caulfield and Peninsula students can select one or more subjects from the elective subjects listed under the heading 'Choice of elective subjects for tagged Bachelor of Business students' or another undergraduate business subject, or subjects from another faculty as long as prerequisites for that subject have been satisfied. Subjects from another institution may also be taken with the approval of the course director. Students wishing to study a subject which is not listed as an approved subject under the course entry in the handbook, should complete an application for a non-standard subject enrolment and lodge the form with their relevant departmental administration office. Students are strongly advised to discuss their proposed electives with their course director at the completion of the first-year of their program.
At Clayton electives can be chosen from any other faculty, but may not be of the same discipline area as the major and supporting studies chosen. For the generalist and specialised Bachelor of Commerce courses, up to two elective subjects of the appropriate year level can be undertaken in each year of the course. For the Bachelor of Economics, approximately half of all subjects can be electives from other faculties. Students may undertake a second major specialisation, such as a language, mathematics, computing, politics, history or sociology. Almost all subjects offered by the faculties of Arts, Science and Computing and Information Technology are available to students.
At Gippsland a student may include up to six semester-length subjects offered at degree level by other faculties of the university, provided they are of equivalent academic standing.
At Berwick, where all courses are either double degree or double award courses, there is little room in the structure of these courses for elective subjects. Some Bachelor of Business programs allow students to take two elective subjects which must be selected from approved subjects offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics. Bachelor of Tourism programs do not include any elective subjects.
At Monash Sunway students may select elective subjects from those offered by the faculty or subjects from another faculty, or from other approved institutions, as long as the prerequisites for those subjects have been satisfied.

Candidates for graduate courses are referred to the individual course entries in this handbook for details of course structure and elective subjects.

Enrolment of non-faculty students in subjects offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics

Undergraduate subjects

Normally the ENTER score and/or satisfaction of the mathematics requirement will determine whether students from other faculties are admitted to subjects offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics.
Students are not normally permitted to enrol in subjects with the following prefixes without the mathematics prerequisite (or equivalent) of the faculty's undergraduate courses on the relevant campus, but exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis by the head of department or nominee. AFC, ETC, some ECC2/3 subjects at Clayton need VCE mathematical methods (units 3 and 4); ETF, ETX, AFF, AFX subjects at Caulfield/Peninsula need any VCE mathematics (units 3 and 4); AFG subjects at Gippsland need any VCE mathematics (units 1 and 2).
Normally students will be admitted to subjects with the following prefixes only if they have an ENTER score (or equivalent) not less than the minimum permitted for faculty enrolled students in faculty undergraduate courses on that particular campus: AFF, AFX, ETF, ETX subjects at Caulfield/Peninsula; AFC, ETC subjects at Clayton; AFG subjects at Gippsland. Any exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the head of department or nominee.

Graduate subjects

Students should contact the department offering the subject for further information. Students must meet the prerequisites to be eligible to enrol in a subject.
