Course
code: 1775
Course coordinator: Dr Ali Haidar
This one year full-time or two years part-time course has been especially
designed to offer selected students the opportunity for advanced study in one
of the specialist business areas offered by the departments of the Faculty of
Business and Economics and to teach students how to conduct business related
research at an advanced level.
The honours course is conducted at the Caulfield, Gippsland and Peninsula
campuses.
The
course aims to provide a fourth year tertiary level of study for students
seeking to widen their knowledge in one of the specialist business areas
offered by the faculty. This further specialisation also provides a competitive
edge in the job market.
It also aims to expose students to both the substantial theory and practice of
business related research so that they are prepared for future higher degree
research.
(i) A
candidate for the honours degree will have completed the requirements for a
Bachelor of Business or any combined degree program which includes a major
study in one specialised area of business (accounting, economics, management or
marketing) at Monash University or obtained an equivalent degree from an
equivalent university or institute.
(ii) Candidates should normally have obtained a minimum average credit
grade over levels two and three of the undergraduate degree in the specialised
area of business subjects.
(iii) Applications must include legally certified copies of
entry qualifications.
The course is subject to the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS). An additional fee will also apply for amenities and library services. International students should contact Monash International for details of course fees by phoning: (03) 5122 6741.
Students
may elect to undertake honours studies at Gippsland in the areas of accounting,
economics, management, marketing or tourism management. The banking and finance
specialisation which is offered on the Caulfield and Peninsula campuses is not
available at Gippsland.
The course involves one year of full-time study, and is offered on-campus
only.
Students are required to complete subjects totalling forty-eight credit points,
as follows:
The business research methods subject requires six hours of formal class work per week over the first semester. The substantive area of specialisation (accounting, economics, management or marketing) requires a further three hours of formal class work per week over each semester of the honours year. The research report requires an equivalent further six hours per week. Thus the total formal time commitment is fifteen hours per week, for the first semester and twelve hours per week for the second semester. Students should be prepared to devote approximately double that amount of time (ie thirty hours) to private study.
