Faculty information

Structure of the faculty

The Faculty of Business and Economics operates on the Berwick, Caulfield, Clayton, Gippsland and Peninsula campuses in Australia, the Monash Malaysia campus near Kuala Lumpur, and the Monash South Africa campus near Johannesburg, as well as in Sydney, and Singapore. It has over 16,000 students and offers a wide range of undergraduate degrees and diplomas, executive certificates, graduate certificates, graduate diplomas, masters degrees by research and by coursework and the doctor of philosophy and doctor of business administration degrees. These courses are available through a range of study methods including off-campus learning and open learning as well as the more traditional on-campus study.

The term ‘Faculty of Business and Economics’ in the wider sense includes all students enrolled for degrees, diplomas and certificates offered by the faculty, and all staff (academic, administrative and technical) attached to the campuses that make up the faculty.

The faculty is a body established under university statute. It comprises the dean, members of the teaching staff and other persons as appointed by the university council. The responsibility for making academic decisions in the faculty lies with the faculty board, which comprises heads of departments, faculty heads on the various campuses, appointed and elected members of the teaching staff, members of the general staff, student members (international, undergraduate and postgraduate), and nominees of other faculties and the library. Except in certain matters on which it has power to act, the faculty board makes recommendations to the Education Committee and to the Academic Board and through the board to the Council of the university.

The faculty also has a number of committees, including an executive committee, education committee and committees for research, library, budgets, and equal opportunity and affirmative action.

The dean, as chief executive officer of the faculty, provides academic leadership to the faculty, presides over meetings of the faculty board and its committees and exercises a general superintendence over the educational and administrative affairs of the faculty. Each department of the faculty holds regular meetings and reports to the faculty board.

The faculty manager, assisted by the group managers of the faculty are responsible for the overall administration of the faculty, including matters relating to university statutes, regulations, the provision of advice on policy to faculty board and its related committees, student services, management of the faculty’s financial, technical and resource activities, business development and personnel matters of the faculty.
