Course Code: IBTKDB
The Bachelor of Tourism/Associate Diploma of Business (Marketing) program offers students the opportunity to graduate with two separate awards, a Monash University Bachelor of Tourism degree and a Casey Institute of TAFE Associate Diploma of Business (Marketing). Normally these awards (if they are undertaken alone) are of three and two years duration respectively. When taken in conjunction, students are able to cross-credit subjects from one award to the other, allowing them to complete both courses after four years of full-time study.
The objectives of the Bachelor of Tourism/Associate Diploma of Business (Marketing) course are to provide students with a knowledge of:
Satisfactory completion of the VCE with English, units 3 and 4, and Mathematics, units 1 and 2.
Applicants may also satisfy entrance requirements on the basis of qualifications deemed to be the equivalent of the above VCE. TAFE qualifications (eg the first year of a TAFE associate diploma or a TAFE qualification that satisfies the first year of a TAFE associate diploma) or comparable Year 12 qualifications including International Baccalaureate or approved tertiary-level study completed in Victoria, other States of Australia or overseas may satisfy entry requirements.
Those who have reached at least twenty-three years of age in the year of application and who have either not satisfied the above entrance requirements or have done so more than three years prior to their application, may apply for entry. These applicants will be required to pass an admission test and undertake other assessments as prescribed.
Successful completion of at least two open learning (OLA) subjects may satisfy entry requirements.
Double award students pay two sets of fees - one for the university component of their studies and one for the TAFE component. The Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) requires contributions to be made by students towards the cost of their higher education studies commenced after 1 January 1989. The amount to be contributed depends on the study load (subjects) undertaken each semester, and is payable whether or not a pass in each subject is achieved. An additional fee will also apply for amenities and library services. More detailed information relating to HECS can be obtained from Student Relations and Inquiries, Monash University, Berwick Campus, Clyde Road, Berwick, Victoria 3806. For the TAFE component students pay an up front course fee and a student services and amenities fee.
Credits and exemptions may be considered for previous tertiary-level study or post-secondary study (including TAFE) in Australia and overseas. Each application is assessed on a case-by-case basis. It is essential that subjects submitted for credit and exemption fit the philosophy and principles of this degree course of study. Subjects studied more than ten years ago are regarded as beyond a reasonable time limit and will not be considered for credit/exemption.
This course is taught on-campus at the Berwick Campus of Monash University and at the Berwick campus of Casey Institute of TAFE.
