Full fee paying course
Attendance optional
The Faculty of Business and Economics has recently introduced executive
certificates as faculty-based awards in many discipline areas. These awards
offer a flexible and business relevant program for professionals and
experienced managers who do not currently hold a university degree and need to
obtain or upgrade their knowledge and skills at graduate level.
The executive certificates involve the study of four subjects in the relevant
discipline area and provide for articulation opportunities, where a relevant
graduate diploma course exists, into other graduate level courses for those
students who attain an average of credit level or above throughout their
studies.
Discipline areas currently available, their course codes and 1999 fees (subject
to approval) are as follows:
Overseas student subject fee: $1562.50
Admission
is open to non-degree applicants who have:
(i) at least six years business experience; and
(ii) been either an owner manager or in a management/supervisor
position or administered expenditure in excess of $500,000 pa for at
least three years and
(iii) are recommended by their employer or, if self employed,
provide suitable references.
Applicants should note that there are two intakes per year to these courses,
one to commence in first semester, and the second to commence in second semester.
It is strongly recommended that participants have access to a personal computer and a modem to facilitate email communication with their lecturer, other participants and electronic access to library services. The School of Business and Electronic Commerce operates in an IBM-compatible environment.
Weekend schools are run once a month for many of the graduate subjects. Attendance is optional for those students wishing to attend. This course may be accelerated by attending residential or summer schools conducted at the Monash Gippsland campus or face to face courses conducted at other Monash campuses.
The executive certificates consist of four single-semester graduate-level subjects normally taken over one year of study by distance education.
The
course provides a knowledge of fundamental accounting concepts and standards as
well as practical and analytical skills in accounting that will assist managers
to better understand the financial consequences of their decisions on their
organisations.
