The Bachelor of Business and Commerce provides an international degree in business and commerce. The course is designed to provide maximum flexibility and to allow depth and breadth in the study of the major business and commerce discipline areas. Its structure provides the capacity to tailor applications and focus in different contexts and different environments while ensuring knowledge of the theory, principles and core elements in the relevant discipline areas.
Students must complete a major in one of the following disciplines taught by the faculty: accounting, banking and finance, business law, econometrics and business statistics, economics, e-business, international business, management and marketing.
Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Malaysia campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics. They can also, in some cases, form a second major in a business discipline.
Up to six open electives may also be taken from other campuses or other Monash faculties.
