Bachelor of Business and Commerce/Bachelor of Computing


General information

Course code: 1794 · Gippsland campus · HECS fees applicable · Attendance optional.

Aims

This double degree course is designed to enable graduates to pursue a computing career in areas requiring a strong business and commercial background, or a career in one of the business discipline areas supported by commercially relevant professional computing skills.

Entry requirements

Normal Monash entry requirements of the VCE or an equivalent qualification apply. Successful applicants will have above average results, with a grade average of at least C in English, and at least a D in an area of Mathematics. Students who have completed the first year of the Bachelor of Business and Commerce or the Bachelor of Computing with good academic results may be admitted to the second year of the double degree with full credit for appropriate first-year studies.
Mature aged applicants are considered on the basis of their employment history, educational background and career objectives. A lack of formal qualifications should not discourage inquiry.

All computing courses are available to students throughout Australia. The course is designed so that it is possible to complete all requirements without any on-campus attendance.
