The following should be read in conjunction with the degree regulations of the
Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Commerce. The double degree course of
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Commerce requires the equivalent of four and a
quarter years of full-time study, but can be completed in four years by
accelerating with an overload of 12 points. An additional year is required to
complete the degree with honours, or the equivalent in part-time study.
Students must complete subjects to the value of a minimum of 204 credit points
subject to the following conditions.
(a) 108 points (18 subjects) must be chosen from subjects offered by the
Faculty of Business and Economics (Clayton) and must include:

(ii) Completion of a major in
a discipline or field of study of the faculty. This requires students to
complete 48 points of study in a single discipline or field of study with at
least 12 points at each of second and third-year level. Disciplines are defined
by department prefixes and fields of study are those sets of related subjects
that may be defined in the catalogue of courses and subjects.

order to meet this requirement, students are able to undertake the second-year
versions of the appropriate number of compulsory subjects.

which at least 24 points must be at third-year level, and which must include
