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.
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.

Appropriate credits may be granted for approved studies completed at a recognised post-secondary institution, including other universities, TAFE institutes and the Open Learning Agency of Australia.
