The Bachelor of Business (Accounting)/Bachelor of Business (Management) double
degree course is a combination of two degree programs and is structured so that
successful completion leads to the award of the Bachelor of Business
(Accounting) and the Bachelor of Business (Management).
The
objective of this double degree program is to provide an integrated course of
undergraduate studies in accounting and management. On completion graduates
should have:
- a broad understanding and appreciation of management issues with
emphasis on the role of accounting within an organisation;
- developed effective interpersonal and communication skills with
continuous independent and critical thinking;
- an understanding of the external environment within which business
operates and, in particular, emphasis on Australia's international context;
- developed critical analytical and technical skills within the accounting
environment;
- the skills, opportunity and encouragement to progress into post-graduate
studies and/or research.
In
addition to part one, section four of the degree regulations, the following
credit transfers have been standardised for the Bachelor of Business
(Accounting)/Bachelor of Business (Management):
- members of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators
will be granted credit for three subjects;
- holders of a recognised Certificate of Business Studies are eligible for
credit for up to a maximum of four subjects in the course, to be determined by
the course director;
- holders of an Associate Diploma in Accounting from a TAFE college
(post-1989) are eligible for up to a maximum of eight subjects on a
subject-by-subject basis to be determined by the faculty's credit transfer
committee.
Day
and evening classes are offered at the Caulfield campus. Intake to this course
at the Peninsula campus ceased in 1998.
The
degree satisfies the academic requirements for membership of the Australian
Society of Certified Practising Accountants, The Institute of Chartered
