The Bachelor of Business and Commerce/Bachelor of Communication program offers students the opportunity to graduate with two separate degrees, a Bachelor of Business and Commerce degree and a Bachelor of Communication degree, from Monash University. Students are able to cross-credit units from one degree to the other, allowing them to complete both courses after four years of full-time study.
Units 1 and 2 - any two units from General Mathematics and/or Mathematical Methods. Units 3 and 4 - a study score of at least 25 in English (any).
Satisfactory completion of qualifications deemed to be equivalent to the VCE such as interstate Year 12 or International Baccalaureate, or the completion of a TAFE Certificate IV with a grade average of at least 60 per cent, or one year of an advanced diploma (formerly associate diploma) with a grade average of at least 60 per cent.
A minimum score of 240.
Those who have not satisfied the above admission requirements may do so by successfully completing two units with a credit average at university level. These may be studied either on campus or by off-campus learning, or through Open Learning Australia. A pass in mathematics at Year 11 or above is essential for entry.
The Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) requires contributions to be made by students towards the cost of their higher education studies commenced after 1 January 1989. The amount to be contributed depends on the study load (units) undertaken each semester, and is payable whether or not a pass in each unit is achieved. An additional fee will also apply for amenities and library services. More detailed information relating to HECS can be obtained from Student Relations and Inquiries, Monash University, Berwick Campus, Clyde Road, Berwick, Victoria 3806.
Credit transfer may be considered for previous tertiary-level study or post- secondary study (including TAFE) in Australia and overseas. Each application is assessed on a case-by-case basis. It is essential that units submitted for credit transfer fit the philosophy and principles of this degree course of study. Units studied more than 10 years ago are regarded as beyond a reasonable time limit and will not be considered for credit/ exemption.
The faculty's Credit and Tracking System (CATS) is a web-based record of credits that have been granted for students in the past. Visit http:/ /credits.buseco.monash.edu.au/ and follow the instructions to look up studies that you have already completed to obtain a guide to the credits you may receive towards the Bachelor of Business and Commerce. Credits and exemptions will not be confirmed until major(s) and specialisations have been selected by the applicant.
This course is taught on campus at the Berwick campus.
