Course structure

Areas of study

Students must complete a major in one of the following disciplines taught by the faculty: accounting, economics, human resource management, management, marketing, marketing communication, public relations or tourism. All units taken as part of the major are limited to units taught by departments of the faculty on the campus delivering this program. For details of the units required for major specialisations, refer to the Bachelor of Business and Commerce course entry in the ‘Outline of undergraduate studies – Berwick’ section of this handbook.

Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Berwick campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics

In their arts component, students complete a compulsory communication major and additional studies in arts. Arts studies offered at Berwick include behavioural studies, international studies, journalism, politics and visual culture. Alternatively, students select a sequence of arts units taught at one of the other campuses of the university. Students who opt for this alternative should note that it will involve travelling to another campus to attend lectures, and close attention will need to be paid to the lecture timetable.

For details on the communications major and other arts studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study' section on the Arts faculty website atwww.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study_areas/.
