The Bachelor of Business (Accounting)/Bachelor of Business (Banking and Finance) double-degree course is a combination of two degree programs and is structured so that successful completion leads to the award of the Bachelor of Business (Accounting) and the Bachelor of Business (Banking and Finance).
Students must complete a major specialisation in both accounting
and banking and finance.
Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Caulfield
campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics. These other studies can in
some cases form a third major in a business discipline.
Up to six open electives may also be taken from other campuses or other Monash
faculties.
The degree requirements are:
(a) Inner core - completion of six compulsory units (36 credit points):
(b) Outer core - completion of six outer-core units (36 credit points), including the two compulsory units (12 credit points) listed below and a further four units (24 credit points) from the remaining units listed below:
(c) Strand - the following 12 units (72 credit points) are compulsory and complete a major specialisation in both accounting and banking and finance:
(d) A total of 32 units (192
credit points) over a maximum of 10 years of study
(e) A maximum of 13 first-year-level units (78 credit points).
(f) A minimum of eight third-year-level units (48 credit points), of which at
least five (30 credit points) must be from those offered by the faculty on the
campus delivering this program.
(g) An option to include a maximum of six units (36 credit points) in
disciplines taught by other Monash faculties or from units offered on campuses
other than the campus delivering this program.
(h) At least two non-compulsory units (12 credit points) must
be outside the main field of study.
See `Choice of elective units for Bachelor of Business (specialised)' at the
end of this section.
This program is accredited with CPA Australia and with The
Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA). Provided students
complete all units specified by these bodies they will qualify for associate
membership of CPA Australia and entry to the CA program of the ICAA.
The degree also satisfies the educational requirements for senior associate
membership of the Australasian Institute of Banking and Finance. Holders of the
degree who have not completed the two years of employment in the banking and
finance industry required for senior associate membership are eligible for
associate membership in the interim.
Completion of the BBus(Acc)/BBus(Bkg&Fin) will enable progression to an honours year and a variety of postgraduate courses either at Monash or other Australian or overseas universities. Details of specific postgraduate courses are available on inquiry from the faculty.
