It is recommended that double-degree Bachelor of Business (Banking and Finance)/Bachelor of Laws students study LAW4104 (Australian banking law) and LAW5105 (Credit and security law) as electives in year four or year five in order to fulfil the educational requirements for senior associate membership of the Australasian Institute of Banking and Finance. Electives should be planned carefully as those electives are not usually offered every semester.
The degree 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(Banking and Finance)/LLB 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.
