Subject codes

In January 1998, the faculty implemented a new subject coding system to reflect the faculty structure that was introduced at the beginning of 1997. Subjects are listed in strict alphabetical and then numerical order. The first two alphabetical characters of the subject code indicate the departmental ownership of the subject:
AF - Accounting and Finance
BT - Business Law and Taxation
ET - Econometrics and Business Statistics
EC - Economics
MG - Management
MK - Marketing
BE - Business and Electronic Commerce
The third alphabetical character indicates campus:
B - Berwick
F - Caulfield
C - Clayton
G - Gippsland
P - Peninsula
W - Subjects offered within the Bachelor of Business and Commerce
Y - City
X - Multi-campus or multi-family
The first digit indicates the year level at which the subject is available and the remaining digits indicate the subject number:
1xxx - First-year undergraduate-level subjects.
2xxx - Second-year undergraduate-level subjects that assume prior knowledge of the discipline or areas of study at the preceding level.
3xxx - Third-year undergraduate-level subjects that assume prior knowledge of the discipline or areas of study at the preceding levels.
4xxx - Fourth-year-level subjects offered in honours and postgraduate diplomas that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding levels and subjects offered in some graduate courses that build on knowledge gained in an undergraduate degree in a related discipline and relevant employment experience.
5xxx - Fifth-year-level subjects offered in those cumulative masters degrees that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding levels, and subjects offered in some other masters degrees that build on knowledge gained through previous study in a related discipline and relevant employment experience.
6xxx - Sixth-year doctoral subjects that assume prior knowledge of the discipline at the preceding levels.
9xxx - Accelerated learning subjects offered in graduate courses that assume no prior knowledge of the discipline at a preceding level but building on knowledge and skills gained through previous study in another discipline area and/or relevant employment experience.
