Honours

Students successfully completing the Bachelor of Commerce may proceed to a one year honours program leading to B3701 Bachelor of Commerce (Honours).

This course provides professional education for those wishing to become actuary, economic or finance professionals. It has a strong emphasis on developing analytical skills and offers a solid grounding and professional competence in the aspects of commerce required for careers in the corporate sector, government and the professions. There are four specialisations in the course:

• Actuarial science
• Economics and economic policy
• Mathematical economics and econometrics
• Finance.

The course allows to you focus your studies from the start, blending a conceptual theoretical framework with practical applications and covers broad discipline material through to more specialised discipline requirements. You will graduate with one of three awards.

Actuarial Science: Actuarial Science will prepare you for a career as an actuary. To provide professional actuarial advice in Australia and in most other developed countries, you must become a fellow of the local actuarial profession. This involves developing basic technical skills, learning how to apply these skills in a general setting, developing deep specialist knowledge and completing a professional course following two years' relevant work experience. Students will have the opportunity to gain industry-based experience as part of this specialisation.

Graduates will be able to seek employment in international finance and business fields dealing with life, general or health insurance, superannuation, risk management and financial consulting. Many actuaries and actuarial graduates work on investment operations for asset managers, brokers and banks. There is a range of government-related jobs in regulatory control, workers' compensation, education and others. Some actuaries work with large companies on long-term strategic planning.

Economics: Economics is the science of allocating scarce resources to maximise people's welfare. Economists study both the microeconomic decisions of individuals, business and government, and the macroeconomic behaviour of the economy as a whole. Two specialisations provide a professional education in economics: economics and economics policy, and mathematical economics and econometrics. Both specialisations are designed to encourage logical thought and detailed analysis of economic issues that can be adapted to a range of careers.

Finance: The finance specialisation offers you the opportunity to complete a professional, highly focussed qualification in finance. It is quantitatively oriented and provides both depth and breadth in finance. You will learn and apply theory and concepts in finance to enable you to critically evaluate and make decisions regarding capital investment, mergers and acquisitions, foreign exchange, valuation of financial securities and firms, money market dealing, financial forecasting, bonds and stocks and gain a comprehensive exposure to options, future and other derivatives.

With this qualification you can aspire to a large number of roles in finance, including group finance director, commodities trader, derivatives trader, investment banker, project finance analyst, trade finance specialist, stockbroker, chief financial officer, mergers and acquisitions specialist, commercial banker, credit analyst, risk manager, corporate finance analyst, finance director, investment advisor, derivative or commodities trader, investment banker or corporate treasurer.

Some specific or additional units may be required for professional recognition. Refer to the Faculty professional recognition pageFaculty professional recognition page (http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/future-students/undergraduate/afteryougraduate/professional-recognition.html) for more information regarding accreditation for each of these specialisations.

The course will enable you to build a high level of expertise in one of the following specialisations:

• Applied Econometrics
• Applied Economics and Econometrics
• Business Economics.

The course allows you to focus your studies from the start, blending a conceptual theoretical framework with practical applications and covers basic discipline material through to more specialised discipline requirements.

Applied Econometrics: Provides students with coursework and research components, and equips them with the required skills in econometric techniques and research experience, to undertake major applied econometric projects. Students will engage in a comprehensive curriculum across applied econometrics, time series analysis, financial econometrics, macro-econometrics and micro-econometrics, and they will develop skills to design and implement applied econometric projects for the government and business sectors. Equally this program may be used to prepare high performing students for a subsequent PhD program.

Applied Economics and Econometrics: Provides students with advanced knowledge in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics (theory, methods and applied). Through a core research element in applied economics, students will learn to use economic or related theory and econometric models for assessing economic and public policies. Students will have required knowledge and research experience to seek jobs in the private, public or institutional sector as economists.

Business Economics: Provides students with an advanced theoretical understanding of economics and its application to government and business decision-making. It is designed for early career economists and recent economics graduates who want to develop their expertise in applied economic tools and to undertake independent research. It is ideal if you are looking to extend your knowledge of economic analysis in the global economy, and focuses on areas of business strategy, competition policy, economic policy, project evaluation, pricing and risk and regulation.
