Notes

  • Students may select arts units from any campus, but should be aware of the teaching location as this may require travel to another campus. Students may also select units offered in off-campus mode.

Description

The Bachelor of Arts is a general, flexible degree which allows students to match academic interests with career aspirations to create a personalised course progression. Studying humanities will develop general knowledge and specific intellectual skills relating to human thought and relations, such as the way we communicate or how the past has affected the present. Social science analyses and explains societies and the relationships of individuals within those societies.

The Bachelor of Business (Management) component of this double degree offers a basic grounding in a broad range of business disciplines, with a focus on management.

Objectives

This course offers graduates a business degree with a strong emphasis on management studies in the diverse fields of management including managerial communication, organisational behaviour, international management, human resources and strategic management, combined with the broad teaching and learning objectives of the Bachelor of Arts degree, which are available at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/courses/0002.html.

The learning goals of the Bachelor of Business (Management) course are to:

  • take a structured approach to business data analysis, problem solving and decision making
  • apply relevant theory, tools and techniques to solving problems in a dynamic business environment
  • carry out an organisation's specific projects and recommend responses to issues and opportunities that may impact on an organisation's performance
  • operate effectively in a multidisciplinary business environment while providing specialist advice from a management perspective
  • approach business issues in a professional and socially responsible manner.
