Course code: To be advised + Peninsula campus + On campus and off-campus distributed learning + Course director: Mr Peter Krueger
The broad objective of the double degree is to provide students with both the technical and organisational competencies to build and implement distributed application systems. This requires that students understand the applications of network computing in business, understand the organisational issues involved in implementing a distributed application system, and are aware of the issues involved in establishing and managing the various types of business associated with network computing.
The double degree follows the structural requirements of the two single degrees as follows:
The Bachelor of Business and Commerce comprises six compulsory core units (36 points) and an eight-unit major (48 points). The major must include two units (12 points) from each of the second and third-year levels. Six units (36 points) are free electives. Up to 10 units may be taken at the first-year level and at least six units (36 points) at third-year level (24 of which must be taken from units offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics at the Peninsula campus). In total, 18 units (108 points) must be undertaken at the Peninsula campus.
The
degree consists of 144 points of study, of which no more than 60 points are at
the first-year level of study, and least 36 points of study are at each of the
second and third-year levels. Of the 36 points at third-year level, at least 24
must be computing.
The degree is made up of three components:
1. A compulsory core of 14 units (90 points); six (36 points) first-year units,
six (36 points) second-year units; and two (one 12-point unit and one 6-point
unit) third-year units; and a minor (computing or non-computing) of 24 points
with no more than 12 points at first-year level.
2. Electives (computing or non-computing) in accordance with the points
requirements for the degree. Students may convert a minor into a major, by the
addition of additional units in the designated area to the value of 24 points.
Four years of full-time study, or the equivalent in part-time study.
VCE units 3 and 4: a score of at least 25 in both mathematics (any) and English (any), or equivalent.
Credit arrangements will be put in place with local and overseas institutions, along the lines currently followed by the faculties. Credit will vary from institution to institution and course to course, as appropriate.
