Bachelor of Electronic Commerce


General information

Course code: 2563 Course abbreviation: BElecCom
This course complements the Bachelor of Business and Electronic Commerce offered at the Gippsland campus and by distance education, but it has a greater focus on the development of systems, as opposed to their management. Nevertheless, the degree retains a strong business emphasis. The cross-disciplinary approach reflects the view that electronic commerce requires the integration of people, processes and systems via the enabling information technologies.

Admission requirements

(a) Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE)

Satisfactory completion of the VCE, with a study score of at least 25 in English units 3 and 4, plus any two units from General Mathematics and Mathematical Methods at units 1 and 2 level.

(b) Comparable qualifications

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.

(c) Special admission

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.
