The Faculty of Business and Economics operates on the Berwick, Caulfield, Clayton, Gippsland and Peninsula campuses in Australia, the Monash Malaysia campus near Kuala Lumpur, and the new campus near Johannesburg, South Africa, as well as in Sydney, Perth, Hong Kong and Singapore. It has approximately 13,000 students and offers a wide range of undergraduate degrees and diplomas, executive certificates, graduate certificates, graduate diplomas, masters degrees by research and by coursework and the doctor of philosophy and doctor of business administration degrees. These courses are available through a range of study methods including off-campus learning and open learning as well as the more traditional on-campus study.
The term `Faculty of Business and Economics' in the wider sense includes all
students enrolled for degrees, diplomas and certificates offered by the
faculty, and all staff (academic, administrative, technical and clerical)
attached to the campuses that make up the faculty.
The faculty is a body established under university statute. It comprises the
dean, members of the teaching staff and other persons as appointed by the
university Council. The responsibility for making academic decisions in the
faculty lies with the faculty board, which comprises heads of departments,
faculty heads on the various campuses, appointed and elected members of the
teaching staff, members of the general staff, student members (international,
undergraduate and postgraduate), and nominees of other faculties and the
library. Except in certain matters on which it has power to act, the faculty
board makes recommendations to the Education Committee and to the Academic
Board and through the Academic Board to the Council of the university.
The faculty also has a number of committees including an executive committee,
undergraduate and graduate studies committees and committees for research,
library, budgets, and equal opportunity and affirmative action.
The dean, as chief executive officer of the faculty, provides academic
leadership to the faculty, presides over meetings of the faculty board and its
committees and exercises a general superintendence over the educational and
administrative affairs of the faculty.
The group managers of the faculty are responsible for the overall
administration of the faculty, including matters relating to university
statutes, regulations, the provision of advice on policy to faculty board and
its related committees, student services, management of the faculty's
financial, technical and resource activities, business development and
personnel matters of the faculty.
