This course provides a tertiary education channel for supervisory and

the management skills to recognise and implement improvement opportunities
within organisations.

Applicants may also satisfy entrance requirements on the basis of qualifications deemed to be the equivalent of the above VCE. TAFE qualifications (eg the first year of a TAFE associate diploma or a TAFE qualification that satisfies the first year of a TAFE associate diploma) or comparable Year 12 qualifications, including International Baccalaureate or approved tertiary-level study completed in Victoria, other states of Australia or overseas, may satisfy entry requirements.
Students who have not successfully completed VCE or equivalent may satisfy entry requirements by completing at least two Monash non-award single subjects or open learning (OLA) subjects. Further information is contained in the booklet 'Returning to study at Monash', which is available from the Prospective Students Office, telephone (03) 9905 1320.
It is recommended that students have access to a personal computer. (Note that the School of Business and Electronic Commerce operates in an IBM-compatible Windows environment.) It is also recommended that students have access to a modem to facilitate email communication with teaching staff.
The Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) requires contributions to be made by students towards the cost of their higher education studies commenced after 1 January 1989. The amount to be contributed depends on the study load (subjects) undertaken each semester, and is payable whether or not a pass in each subject is achieved. An additional fee will also apply for amenities and library services. More detailed information relating to HECS can be obtained from the Student Administration Office, Monash University, Gippsland campus, Churchill, Victoria 3842.
Candidates
for the Diploma of Business may apply for credit exemptions up to a maximum of
12 credit points (two subjects) for subjects considered by the course
coordinator to be the equivalent of particular requirements in the course of
study.
It is essential that subjects submitted for credit and exemption fit the
philosophy and principles of this diploma course of study. Subjects studied
more than 10 years ago are regarded as beyond a reasonable time limit for
applicability and generally will not be considered for credit/exemption.
The course consists of eight subjects taken over four semesters by distance education. Each subject comprises six credit points each for a total load of 48 credit points. The recommended study sequence is shown below and where students require a variation to this program individual course advice must be sought.
Elective subjects will
be drawn from the Bachelor of Business, with the exception of GCO1859 (Computer
applications in business). Students who do not have computer skills will be
strongly advised to complete this subject in year one, semester two, and choose
any other elective (where prerequisites are met) from the Bachelor of
Business.
