The faculty requires entrants to these courses to have obtained a study
score of at least 25 in two units of mathematics, chosen from units
3 and 4 of Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, or an
equivalent.
The Clayton campus of the Faculty of Business and Economics offers the
following degrees and double degrees.
Note that following a review of undergraduate courses in the faculty, the Bachelor of Commerce, the Bachelor of Commerce tagged and the Bachelor of Economics degrees have been restructured. Students first enrolled prior to 2000 will have the option of completing their degree under the structure in force when they first enrolled, or under the new structure.
The Bachelor of Accounting is a specialist degree, based on a cooperative education scheme with scholarships sponsored by industry. It is available only to school leavers who are citizens or permanent residents of Australia.
The
generalist Bachelor of Commerce offers the choice of a wide range of subjects
related to commerce and management. It allows specialisations in the areas of
accounting, business law, economics, finance, management, marketing,
quantitative studies and taxation, as well as some opportunity to include
subjects from outside the faculty such as computing, a language, mathematics,
or psychology.
The three specialised Bachelor of Commerce degrees (specialising in accounting
and finance, or business statistics, or management) are similar to the
generalist Bachelor of Commerce except that they allow greater specialisation
in the selected major field of study and have fewer compulsory first-year
subjects.
The Bachelor of Economics allows for greater emphasis on social science and less on business orientation than is possible in the Bachelor of Commerce. Students may pursue a major study in economics, business law, taxation, quantitative studies, economic history and accounting and finance. It also has the flexibility to allow students to take up to half their course from subjects offered by other faculties.
Since
most other faculties are based on the Clayton campus, a wide range of double
degrees is offered with the faculties of Arts, Information Technology,
Education, Engineering, Law, Pharmacy, and Science. In addition, the combined
Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Economics degree is designed to allow a
substantial number of subjects from any other faculty, or a range of faculties
to be included.
The faculty requires entrants to these courses to have obtained a study score
of at least 25 in two units of mathematics, chosen from units 3 and 4
of Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, or an equivalent.
An
area of study involves a number of subjects taught in a cumulative fashion with
the group of subjects jointly seeking to meet the specific objectives and
characteristics of each course. To ensure cohesion, depth and breadth in their
program of studies, students must include in their course a major
specialisation and supporting studies, chosen from the subjects taught by the
departments of Accounting and Finance, Economics, Econometrics and Business
Statistics, Marketing (supporting studies only), Management, or Business Law
and Taxation (supporting studies only). All subjects taken as part of the major
specialisation and some of the subjects taken as supporting studies are limited
to subjects taught by these departments on the Clayton campus (ie the third
character of the subject code is C). It is possible to undertake the same major
sequence of study in more than one of these degrees, however the combination of
major subject area and other permitted studies varies considerably between
degrees.
The Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics degrees, where students may
choose a discipline major, provide students with considerable flexibility in
their choice of subjects. Subjects often have prerequisites and co-requisites
and some subject combinations are forbidden. These are specified in the charts
at the end of this chapter.
