Specialise from
the start
I chose to study at Monash because it was
the only university where I could study a
double degree in politics and economics.
It also gave me the opportunity to specialise
in these areas right from the start.
As part of my degree I also had the
opportunity to undertake internships with
the Parliament of Victoria and the Principles
for Social Investment Secretariat, A United
Nations Global Compact Initiative.

was my placements at PwC that helped

overseas

At Monash, we believe you
should have a global perspective
because we operate within a
global economy, and we combine
this with the belief that you dont
have to put your studies on hold
to travel the world.
Go on
exchange
The inter-campus exchange program to
Malaysia was the highlight of my Monash
student experience. It was great to be able to
continue my degree at an international campus
and to have new and interesting experiences.
I think studying overseas shows employers that
I can adjust, adapt and build a life in a foreign
environment without knowing anyone. As well
as being out of your comfort zone, you can still
excel and complete a life challenge, not only on
an academic level but a personal level as well.

Problem-Based
Learning (PBL)
We offer PBL in the Bachelor of Business degree at our Peninsula
campus. You work with a small team of students and an academic
mentor to create practical solutions to real-life problems. As you solve
these problems, you learn the principles of each subject. Site visits
and industry placements form an integral part of the PBL approach.
Monash Business Behavioural
Laboratory (MBBL)
Monashs MBBL is spearheading research in judgment and
decision-making behaviours. How consumers make decisions has
enormous implications for business, government and not-for-profits.
For instance, how might health management be delivered if we
knew more about how consumers really make health decisions?
The research and technology used in the MBBL, including eye
trackers to help track responses and behaviours, is part of the
innovation and expertise you will find at Monash.
Monash Laboratory for
Experimental Economics
(MonLEE)
MonLEE is at the heart of Monashs strong focus on behavioural
economics. Many aspects of human decision-making differ from
the rational behavior assumed in economic models. Governments,
in particular, have found it is vital to analyse policies based on
understanding behavioural anomalies. This kind of research requires
the new thinking and the specialist facilities you find at MonLEE.
MonLEE helps economists test their hypotheses, identify the forces that
enhance innovation, cooperation and productivity, and contribute to shape
policy making and advance the science of economics across the globe.
Monash University Simulated
Teaching and Research
Laboratory (STARLab)
STARLab is a unique facility, a computer-based system that
replicates Australias financial institutions using software
developed by Monash.
STARLab provides students with the opportunity to test
theoretical finance concepts learned in the classroom by
hands-on application. In essence, it creates a rigorous
market atmosphere in the university classroom.

CONCURRENTLY
Which course
is right for you?
At Monash, we let you
choose how you study.
We offer a range of
courses that offer different
professional outcomes.
Well be there to guide you
through all the possibilities,
so you can graduate with an
internationally-recognised
qualification that can take
you anywhere.
Take advantage of our global
perspective, exceptional
facilities, world-class teachers
and industry-based learning.
Range of majors
A comprehensive course is flexible and
evolves as your interests develop in
particular directions.
You can start with units from a range of
study areas and through your choices
progressively focus on one or two majors
and minors.
Monash guides you through this process so
you graduate with a degree that combines
breadth and depth of expertise relevant to
your interests and aspirations.
Specialist focus
A specialist course offers you focus and
depth through specialisation in your area
of interest from the start of your studies.
Some undergraduate specialist courses
are designed to prepare you to practise
in a specified regulated profession
upon graduation. Others concentrate
on developing particular expertise but
may be applicable to a broader range
of careers options.
You will graduate with a degree that
reflects your chosen specialisation.
Double degrees
A double degree lets you gain skills in
two different disciplines (such as arts and
business or commerce and engineering)
that doubles your career options when
you graduate.
Its a great way to tailor your qualification
to fit your diverse interests and talents.
Most double degrees will add one more year
to your time at Monash as both are studied
concurrently with electives from one degree
counting towards the other.
You can combine your business, commerce
or economics degree with another Monash
degree to expand both your study and
career horizons and opportunities.
Professional entry
graduate courses
Some courses at Monash prepare you for
direct entry to a profession upon graduation
with a bachelors degree.
However, you can also choose a
professional entry postgraduate course
after you have completed your bachelors
degree that also prepares you for entry to
a regulated profession. These are usually
masters degrees.
Fields where we offer professional entry
courses for graduates include architecture,
law, accounting, teaching and nursing.
In some professional fields, including
law, teaching and nursing, we offer you
both options.

BUSINESS, ECONOMICS, COMMERCE AND ACCOUNTING
Bachelor of Business and
Bachelor of Commerce: a comparison
There are similarities between our Bachelor of Business and
Bachelor of Commerce degrees both will give you a world-class
education and give you the opportunity to undertake industry-based
learning, double degrees and study overseas. However, which course
you choose comes down to your individual interests and goals.
Choosing your degree
20
I studied a double degree which
allowed me to explore two areas of
interest. But it was the practical
experience in my third and
fourth years of my commerce
degree as a vacation student in
the tax team at Ernst & Young
that helped me realise I wanted to be an
economist rather than a solicitor.
Jacqueline Bastiani, Bachelor of Laws/
Bachelor of Commerce, 2009
Senior Economist, Department of
Treasury and Finance
Here is just one example of a
double degree:
Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws
This course gives you the legal foundations and practices at the
heart of business together with a big-picture understanding of
the economy.
This double degree provides the knowledge and skills required in
the management of public and private enterprises, together with
a law degree.
You can study specialist commercial law units, such as corporations
law, international law and business transactions, taxation law and
industrial bargaining and arbitration, which will complement the
solid grounding provided in both domestic and international law.
The combination of legal and commercial expertise is invaluable
in many areas of business.
A double degree in commerce and law provides graduates
with a wide range of career possibilities in law or in business
or government environments.
One of our most popular double combinations, this degree could
see you working as a lawyer or legal adviser in a large corporation,
law reform agency, government service, or a legal firm.
You can combine your business
or commerce degree with other
degrees. In a double degree, you
study two degrees at the same
time. This broadens your specialist
knowledge and makes you more
competitive in the job market.
A double degree usually only adds
one extra year to your studies.

Why students
choose Monash
Course
flexibility
Peter Melilli, Bachelor of Commerce, 2013
The Bachelor of Commerce is great because it didnt lock
me into one option. I could study a range of core commerce
units to see which areas I liked best. I also had the flexibility to
decide whether I wanted to study a single or double major.
Double
your options
Mikaela Conan-Davies, Bachelor of Arts/
I chose Monash because I wanted to study a double degree
in arts and marketing, and Monash is the only institution which
offered this combination. Studying a double degree has a huge
advantage, as it gives you skills across multiple disciplines and
shows future employers that you are adaptable.
