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. Course structureAreas of studyStudents 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. All units taken as part of the major are limited to units taught by departments of the faculty on the campus delivering this program. 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. Course requirementsThe degree requirements are: (a) completion of six compulsory common core units (36 points):
(b) completion of a major of at least eight units (48 points) in a discipline from the faculty with at least two units (12 points) at each of second and third-year levels. (c) a total of 24 units (144 points) over a maximum of 10 years of study. (d) a maximum of 10 first-year-level units (60 points). (e) a minimum of six units (36 points) at third-year level, of which at least four (24 points) must be from those offered by the faculty on the campus delivering this program. (f) an option to include a maximum of six units (36 points) in disciplines taught by other faculties or from units offered on campuses other than the campus delivering this program. (g) at least four non-compulsory units (24 points) must be outside the main field of study. The Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996 of Malaysia requires Malaysian students to take three units: 'Malaysian studies', 'National language' (there is one unit for Malaysian citizens and another for citizens of other countries), and either 'Islamic studies' (Muslim students) or 'Moral studies' (other students). Non-Malaysian students are no longer required to complete ‘Malaysia studies’ and ‘National language’ effective 2006. For further details, inquire on-campus.
