General information

Course code: 2026
The following should be read in conjunction with the statement on the Bachelor of Commerce and the Bachelor of Education in the Education handbook.
The double-degree course of Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Education requires a minimum of four-and-a-half years of full-time study, or five-and-a-half years for a degree with honours, or the equivalent in part-time study. Entry to this combination is based on the entry requirements for the Bachelor of Commerce degree. Students must complete subjects to the value of a minimum of 212 credit points over the length of the course, of which 108 points should come from subjects offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics (Clayton) and 104 points from the Faculty of Education. The education component includes a program of field visits. The course structure is shown in chart 16 in the section 'Charts of degree structures'.
While there is a degree of flexibility in the commerce component of the course structure, students must normally complete the eight compulsory first-year commerce subjects in the first two years of the course.
