Bachelor of Business/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.
Given the increasing impact of technological change on organisations, their structures and their operations, more business graduates need vocational level skills in computing and equally, more computing graduates need the ability to apply their skills and knowledge over a greater range of business and commercial applications. This course has been developed to cater for these trends by providing business students the opportunity to develop an in-depth knowledge of computing skills by completing a system development major or business systems major which are not available in the bachelor of business. The degree also enables computing students the option of developing in-depth business skills and knowledge, which is not available in the bachelor of computing, in at least two or more of the following bachelor of business degree areas: accounting, economics, marketing, management and tourism management.

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 Business 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. A lack of formal qualifications should not discourage inquiry.
