This course is a combination of two degree programs. It aims to provide a sound
accounting and computing basis that will enable graduates to deal with any form
of accounting and business activity, particularly the application of
computerised business systems.
Candidates completing this program qualify for the degrees of Bachelor of
Business (Accounting) and Bachelor of Computing.
On completion of this course students should:
A grade average of C in both English and in Mathematics (any) and a grade average of D in any two other VCE studies.
Applicants may also satisfy entrance requirements with qualifications equivalent to the VCE, eg TAFE qualifications (the first year of a TAFE associate diploma or equivalent TAFE qualification) or comparable Year 12 qualifications, including International Baccalaureate, or other approved tertiary study.
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.
Fees will depend upon the student's residency status. Local residents will be liable for either the fees set by the government under the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) or for full tuition fees as determined by the university. International students will pay fees at the rate set by the government for non-resident students. For details of current fees contact Monash International Pty Ltd, (03) 9903 2311.
The following credit transfers have been standardised for the Bachelor of Business (Accounting)/Bachelor of Computing. In all cases at least sixteen equivalent semester subjects must be completed at Monash University before a candidate is eligible for the award.
Day and evening classes are offered at Caulfield campus and day classes only are offered at the Peninsula campus.
On graduating, candidates will meet the academic requirements for entry to the professional year of the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants and The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and satisfy the requirements of the Australian Computer Society in meeting the level 1 standard of knowledge for membership.
The course will normally take four years on a full-time basis and eight to ten years to complete on a part-time basis with the usual load being two or three subjects per semester. Evening classes are available only at the Caulfield campus between the hours of 6 pm and 10 pm with students attending two or three evenings per week.
1 Where
a candidate seeks to discontinue his or her enrolment in the degree or where a
candidate, having completed all requirements for one of the degrees making up
the double degree, seeks to continue in only one of either Bachelor of Business
(Accounting) or Bachelor of Computing, that candidate shall make application to
the relevant faculty in the manner prescribed for new students. Students
seeking to graduate in the completed single degree should make application to
the relevant faculty.
2 Such applications as may be made under section 1 above will
be considered by the relevant faculty, together with all other applications and
with regard to quotas applying to the particular course. Applications of this
nature may be made only at the commencement of the academic year.
3 Candidates enrolled in the degree, who may be subsequently
admitted to either the Bachelor of Business (Accounting) or the Bachelor of
Computing under section 2 above, and will complete that single degree in
accordance with the regulations pertaining to that award, shall undertake such
additional work as may be prescribed by the admitting faculty in order to
satisfy all course requirements.
The course is available on both the Caulfield and Peninsula campuses.
Students are able to choose one elective for the business part of the course. Electives can be chosen from the Department of Accounting and Finance or any department within the university, providing that they are the appropriate level and prerequisites are met. Electives chosen outside the faculty must be approved by the course coordinator. In computing, students will take one of the streams offered by the Faculty of Information Technology (FIT). Computing electives would normally relate to the chosen stream. Students may need to consult FIT before choosing computing electives.
Completion of the BBus(Acc)/BComp will enable progression to an honours year and a variety of postgraduate courses either at Monash or other Australian or overseas universities. Details of specific postgraduate courses are available on enquiry with the faculty.
