1999 Business and Economics Handbook

Subject codes

In January 1998 the faculty implemented a new subject coding system to reflect the faculty structure that was introduced at the beginning of 1997. Please note that prerequisite subject codes are shown in their new form. A complete list of subjects with old and new codes is available in faculty offices on each campus and on the world wide web at http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au.
Subjects are broadly grouped by campus, and then listed within departments in strict numerical order. The first two alphabetical characters of the subject code indicate the departmental ownership of the subject:

AF Accounting and Finance
BT Business Law and Taxation
ET Econometrics and Business Statistics
EC Economics
MG Management
MK Marketing
BE Business and Electronic Commerce

The third alphabetical character indicates campus:

B Berwick
F Caulfield
C Clayton
G Gippsland
P Peninsula
Y City
W Sunway
X Multi-campus

The first digit indicates the year level at which the subject is available and the remaining digits the subject number:

1xxx First-year undergraduate-level subjects
2xxx Second-year undergraduate-level subjects that assume prior knowledge of the discipline or areas of study at the preceding level
3xxx Third-year undergraduate-level subjects that assume prior knowledge of the discipline or areas of study at the preceding levels
4xxx Fourth-year level subjects offered in honours and postgraduate diplomas that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding levels and subjects offered in some graduate courses that build on knowledge gained in an undergraduate degree in a related discipline and relevant employment experience
5xxx Fifth-year level subjects offered in those cumulative masters degrees that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding levels, and subjects offered in some other masters degrees that build on knowledge gained through previous study in a related discipline and relevant employment experience
6xxx Sixth-year doctoral subjects that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding levels
9xxx Accelerated learning subjects offered in graduate courses that assume no prior knowledge of the discipline at a preceding level but building on knowledge and skills gained through previous study in another discipline area and/or relevant employment experience.
