The Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Commerce double degree, available on the Clayton campus, enables students to take out both degrees after four years of full-time study. Students will complete all the requirements of the Bachelor of Commerce while at the same time completing 92 points of music subjects.
The double degree of Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Commerce requires a minimum of four years of full-time study, or five years for the degree with honours, or the equivalent in part-time study. Entry to the double degree is based on the entry requirements for the Bachelor of Music and the Bachelor of Commerce degrees. To qualify for the award, students must complete subjects to the value of a minimum of 188 credit points over the length of the course, of which 96 points should come from subjects offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics and 92 points from subjects offered by the Faculty of Arts in the Bachelor of Music degree.
Students take approved combinations of subjects in (i) music performance, composition, and musicology, including classical and popular music, and in (ii) accounting and finance, economics and management.

Commerce sequence

Students must normally complete the compulsory first-year subjects ETC1020 and ETC1031/ETC1032 (Business and economic statistics), AFC1021/AFC1022 and AFC1031/AFC1032 (Accounting), and ECC1020 (Economics) and ECC1030 (Macroeconomics) in the first year of the course. Each subject is worth six points. These could be combined with the first-year subject sequence from music to complete the first-year program. The exception to this arrangement, however, is for those students wishing to undertake a management studies specialisation in their degree. In this case, students may delay the completion of one of the first-year compulsory sequences to a later year, in order to complete the subjects MGC1020 (Introduction to management) and MGX1010 (Managing people and organisations) in the first year. Management studies would then become the category A specialisation for such students. In subsequent years, students choose a major sequence in at least one of the discipline areas of accounting and finance, economics, econometrics or management. This requires at least three subjects in the discipline at each of the second and third-year levels.
Students wishing to complete a specialisation in accounting and finance and who wish to become eligible for membership of the professional accounting bodies in Australia must complete the following subjects: AFC1021/AFC1022, AFC1031/AFC1032, TBC2110, AFC2120, AFC2130, AFC2140, TBC3110, AFC3120, AFC3130 or AFC3140, TBC3150 and AAF3160.
Before enrolling for the double degree, students should collect from the office of either faculty an information sheet setting out several course structure options available for the double degree.
