The Bachelor of Economics degree provides a professional education in the disciplines of economics or econometrics and business statistics, with a strong emphasis on developing analytical skills. There are also opportunities for undertaking one third of the degree as elective units from outside the faculty, or from those offered by departments of the faculty on other campuses.
Students
must complete a major specialisation in either economics or econometrics and
business statistics. All units taken as part of a major specialisation are
limited to units taught by departments of the faculty on the Clayton campus.
Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Clayton
campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics. These other studies can, in
some cases, form a second major specialisation in a commerce discipline.
Up to eight open electives may also be taken from other campuses or other
Monash faculties. These open electives can also, in some cases, form a second
major specialisation.
The
degree requirements are:
(a) Completion of six compulsory common core units (36 credit points):
(b) Completion of four further compulsory units (24 credit points):
First-year students normally may
not take a second-year unit until at least four first-year units have been
completed successfully.
(c) Students must complete either:
(i) Two additional second-year-level units (12 credit points) and three
third-year-level units (18 credit points) drawn from the department of
Economics to complete a major specialisation in economics, or
(ii) A major specialisation of at least eight units (48 credit points) in
econometrics or business statistics with at least two second-year-level units
(12 credit points) and three third-year-level units (18 credit points).
(d) A total of 24 units (144 credit points) over a maximum of 10 years of
study.
(e) A maximum of 10 first-year-level units (60 credit points).
(f) A minimum of six third-year-level units (36 credit points), of which at
least four (24 credit points) must be from those offered by the faculty on the
campus delivering this program.
(g) At least two non-compulsory units (12 credit points) must be taken from
disciplines other than economics or econometrics and business statistics.
(h) 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
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that their enrolment complies with
course requirements. Any student who has doubts on this matter should seek a
meeting with a course adviser.
