The Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Economics double degree provides professional education in a range of commerce disciplines, with a strong emphasis on developing analytical skills. It allows the student increased breadth and depth in the major discipline areas, plus considerable opportunity for major studies from other faculties.
Students must complete a major specialisation in one of economics
or econometrics and business statistics, and a second major specialisation in
either the other field of study, or in one of the following disciplines taught
by the Faculty of Business and Economics: accounting, finance, business law and
taxation, management and marketing.
Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Clayton
campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics, or from other campuses or
other Monash faculties. In some cases, these other studies can for a major
specialisation in a third discipline area.
The degree requirements are:
(a) Completion of 12 compulsory units (72 credit points):
Students wishing
to take first-year units other than those on the above list are able to
undertake the second-year versions of the appropriate number of compulsory
units. This allows students to complete substantial work in related fields such
as languages, computing, psychology, or mathematics. First-year students
normally may not take a second-year unit until at least four first-year units
have been completed successfully.
(b) Completion of a major specialisation of at least eight units (48 credit
points) in either economics (ie units with the prefix ECC), or econometrics and
business statistics (ie units with the prefix ETC) with at least two units (12
credit points) at each of second and third-year level.
(c) Completion of a major specialisation of at least eight units (48 credit
points) in a discipline or field of study of the faculty, including the
discipline not selected in (b), with at least two units (12 credit points) at
each of second and 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).
All units taken as part of the major specialisations must be taught by
departments of the faculty on the Clayton campus (ie the third character of the
unit code is C).
(d) A maximum of 13 first-year-level units (78 credit points).
(e) 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 of
Business and Economics on the campus delivering this program.
(f) At least two non-compulsory units (12 credit points) must be taken outside
the main fields of study.
(g) An option to include a maximum of eight units (48 credit
points) from disciplines taught by other faculties or from an approved list of
faculty units offered on campuses other than Clayton.
The degree must be completed in a maximum of 10 years of study.
Students should have their program of study approved by the course coordinator
or the course coordinator's nominee prior to commencement of the relevant year.
