Overview

Businesses require people with a range of different skills and knowledge to keep them running profitably. This double degree in business gives you the opportunity to do more - you can study complementary areas to give you a genuine depth of study across business disciplines, build your portfolio of skills by studying different disciplines, and tailor your degree to increase your employability.

Your banking and finance studies will prepare you for a career as a banking and finance professional, while your business majors will give you additional skills to pursue expert roles in that industry, or give you the skills to work across industries.

Course structure

Course rules
Several units are listed in both components of the degree. The second instance of each unit must be replaced by another unit from the Faculty of Business and Economics or across the University providing the prerequisite are met and there are no restrictions on admission to the units. You may also be able to use these replacement units to take a 12 or 24 credit point project, international experience or internship, or undertake a minor in a different commerce discipline from your major. You can enrich your degree to hone your academic and professional skills with a range of flagship rich experiences, including the Monash Immersion Guarantee and Global Immersion Guarantee - Study Abroad (monash.edu). These flagship rich experience units may be credited in place of your replacement units if approved by the faculty. There are both 6 and 12 credit point unit options available. If you are enrolled in a double degree it may be possible to use 6 credit points from each degree to do the Global Immersion Guarantee (12 credit points). For information on eligible double degree combinations please see Global Immersion Guarantee - Study Abroad (monash.edu)

The handbook's description of this structure

Double degree courses include the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced.

Business

B2000 Bachelor of Business is a comprehensive course, structured in three equal parts. In the double degree course you complete:

Part A. Business specified study

This will provide you with a broad foundation for your study of business and expose you to several business disciplines. It will contribute breadth to your knowledge of business and develop your understanding of multi-disciplinary decision making in organisations. It will also give you the opportunity to learn more about each discipline before finalising your choice of major.

Part B. Business listed major (excludes Banking and finance)

This will provide you with a focused program of study that will develop your expertise in one discipline area. You will develop, apply and communicate an advanced level of understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks that constitute the knowledge base of your major area of study. Due to the double degree structure, the Banking and finance major is not available in this course.

Banking and Finance

B2042 Bachelor of Banking and Finance is a specialist course that develops through the themes of foundation business knowledge, specialist discipline knowledge and capstone experience.

Part A. Foundation business knowledge

This will provide you with a study of banking and finance disciplines and the impact they have on decision making in organisations.

Part B. Specialist discipline knowledge

These studies will develop your capacity as a critical and creative professional who is able to apply knowledge of banking and finance to provide discipline-based solutions for business. Units contained within the discipline may meet the requirements for professional accreditation bodies.

Part C. Capstone experience

The capstone unit will consolidate your knowledge and skills acquired through the study of your course and provide experience in multi-disciplinary processes and decision making.
