This course focuses on job readiness, to give you the practical skills you need to operate effectively in business environments. It also gives you the chance to gain a business qualification from a leading university, without requiring the Year 12 maths prerequisites of many other business courses. As part of this course, you will develop strong business knowledge, while also building your expertise from day one in one or more business disciplines: Accountancy, Business administration studies, Economics and business decisions, Finance and economics, Management practice and Marketing and communications. You will also have the opportunity to undertake an internship to put your theory into practice, and enable you to graduate with work-ready skills and practical experience for your CV. A degree from an internationally recognised business school such as Monash will make you employable across the globe. You will have a broad range of career options in fields such as accounting, economics, marketing, business management, consulting, government and health care. You can use your professional skills to work in general management and operations, or become a specialist in your chosen field. High achieving students may be eligible for selection to the Monash Business School Scholars Program.
Finance and economics encompasses the complex and dynamic industry of money, banking, credit and investments. This major gives you the high-level skills required to manage, organise and invest money. You will learn how to develop financial policies and products, and gain knowledge that will enable you to solve complex financial problems using mathematical models and techniques. Your studies will include asset and risk management, capital markets, stock portfolio, international finance, and forecasting and budgeting. Finance and economics will provide you with the skills to manage money and work in financial or business management, and gain a strong understanding of their implications for businesses.
