The double-degree course of Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Education requires a minimum of four-and-a-half years of full-time study, or five-and-a-half years for a degree with honours, or the equivalent in part- time study. Entry to this combination is based on the entry requirements for the Bachelor of Commerce degree. Students must complete units to the value of a minimum of 204 credit points over the length of the course, of which 108 points should come from units offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics (Clayton) and 96 points from the Faculty of Education. The education component includes a program of field visits. While there is a degree of flexibility in the commerce component of the course structure, students must normally complete the compulsory first- year commerce units in the first two years of the course.

third-year level. Disciplines are defined by department prefixes and fields of
study are those sets of related units that may be defined in the catalogue of
courses and units.

meet this requirement, students are able to undertake the second-year versions
