Code: 1911
The Bachelor of Tourism/Associate Diploma of Business (Marketing) program
offers students the opportunity to graduate with two separate awards, a Monash
University Bachelor of Tourism degree and a Chisholm Institute Associate
Diploma of Business (Marketing). Students are able to cross-credit subjects
from one award to the other, allowing them to complete both courses after four
years of full-time study.
The objectives of the Bachelor of Tourism/Associate Diploma of Business (Marketing) course are to provide students with a knowledge of:
Satisfactory completion of the VCE with English, units 3 and 4, and Mathematics, units 1 and 2.
Applicants may also satisfy entrance requirements on the basis of qualifications deemed to be the equivalent of the above VCE. TAFE qualifications (eg the first year of a TAFE associate diploma or a TAFE qualification that satisfies the first year of a TAFE associate diploma) or comparable Year 12 qualifications including International Baccalaureate or approved tertiary-level study completed in Victoria, other states of Australia or overseas may satisfy entry requirements.
Students who have not successfully completed VCE or equivalent, may satisfy entry requirements by completing at least two Monash non-award single subjects or open learning (OLA) subjects. Further information is contained in the booklet 'Returning to study at Monash' which is available from the Prospective Students Office, telephone 9905 1320.
Double award students pay two sets of fees - one for the university component of their studies and one for the TAFE component. The Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) requires contributions to be made by students towards the cost of their higher education studies commenced after 1 January 1989. The amount to be contributed depends on the study load (subjects) undertaken each semester, and is payable whether or not a pass in each subject is achieved. An additional fee will also apply for amenities and library services. More detailed information relating to HECS can be obtained from Student Relations and Inquiries, Monash University, Berwick Campus, Clyde Road, Berwick, Victoria 3806. For the TAFE component students pay an up front course fee and a student services and amenities fee.
Credits and exemptions may be considered for previous tertiary-level study or post-secondary study (including TAFE) in Australia and overseas. Each application is assessed on a case-by-case basis. It is essential that subjects submitted for credit and exemption fit the philosophy and principles of this degree course of study. Subjects studied more than ten years ago are regarded as beyond a reasonable time limit and will not be considered for credit/exemption.
This course is taught on-campus at the Berwick Campus of Monash University and at the Berwick campus of Chisholm Institute.
