The Bachelor of Business/Diploma in Hospitality (Management) offers students the opportunity to graduate with two separate awards, a Bachelor of Business degree from Monash University and a Diploma in Hospitality (Management) from East Gippsland Institute of TAFE. When taken in combination, students are able to cross-credit subjects from one award to the other, allowing them to complete both courses within four years of full-time study.

Course objectives

On completion of the double award program students will have the skills and knowledge required for a management or supervisory role in the hospitality industry. Students will also have:

developed a social awareness with the vision and perspective to integrate and apply their knowledge and skills to the benefit of society;
undertaken academically rigorous core subjects and sequentially structured disciplinary streams which satisfy requirements for admission to postgraduate studies and professional bodies;
cultivated positive personal, social and business values, especially integrity, tolerance, self-discipline and a commitment to lifelong learning;
had the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and motivation necessary for postgraduate study and research; and developed basic skills in economic analysis, quantitative and computer methods, accounting principles and management.

Admission requirements

Applicants must comply with the current Bachelor of Business admission requirements.

Credit for work done elsewhere

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, and applicants should note that credit for previous studies is not automatic.
Subjects studies more than ten years ago are regarded as beyond a reasonable time limit for applicability and therefore will not be considered for credit or exemption.

Mode of offering

The Bachelor of Business subjects completed in the first year of this double award program will be completed on campus at the Bairnsdale Study Centre, with the second and third years being completed by distance education and the fourth year being completed by distance education or at the Gippsland campus of Monash University.
