Aims

This double degree course caters for a demand in the information technology industry for people with both professional computing and professional communication skills. There is also a demand for graduates with computing expertise in a range of areas which require professional communication skills, such as journalism and media-related occupations, including multimedia and internet applications development and publishing.
Potential employers include mainstream and alternative media organisations and a wide variety of public and private organisations requiring communication and information technology knowledge and skills.
The course is directed towards intending students whose career goals are in line with the above, and who combine ability with high motivation.

Entry requirements

Normal Monash entry requirements of the Victorian Certificate of Education 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 Arts (Communication) 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-age applicants are considered on the basis of their employment history, educational background and career objectives, and a lack of formal qualifications should not discourage inquiry.
