Bachelor of Business (Monash Caulfield)

[costargh]

Thanks for that Paulie,

I never said I KNOW I can get D's and HD's for BBus subjects. I said I am 'confident' I can do this.(with focus and hard work) That doesn't mean that I will get it but confidence is a great thing to have in study.
I said I KNOW I can pass the maths subject if I put effort into it. 
Just thought I'd clear up your misinterpretation of my post.

What are you enjoying in the course at the moment? Is there a real 'learning culture' within the system or is it real laid-back with a lot of the students?

Thanks

[Paulie]

Yeah sorry mate should have been paying more attention to what I was reading.

Enjoying in the course at the moment? Academically I really like Microeconomics last semester (having never done any economics before) and this semester i'm not minding Accounting systems and procedures (the 2nd unit of accounting). But most of all I just enjoy going there, meeting new people, catching up with friends I've made there and learning stuff that I'm interested in.

The culture is hard to talk about really. Within the population of local students (like myself) most people are pretty laid back and take a pretty cool approach to the whole system. On the other hand, I've noticed the international students treat it really seriously and are very interested in doing well. However these are pretty huge generalisations and like most things it comes down to the individual.

Feel free to ask me anything else.

P.S. Sorry for the late reply been a bit busy.

Well said. For me, economics was the most surprising thing about commerce. Commerce was originally just part of my double degree "because I could."

Now I am less interested about engineering, and way more interested in commerce.

what jobs are you likely to have when u graduate? what sort of jobs and at what sort of companies? how is the job market looking for the next few years?

Bump.

So how many people have this course on their preferences and if so at what preference? What major do you wish to study?

[*Roxxii*]

I've decided that i will put this course 3rd preference.
Majoring in Accounting or Banking and finance...I haven't decided yet.

1st pref was originally BComm @ UoM...but i have like no chance of that now, so i'll take it off when i get my enter.
So then 1st Pref will be Commerce (Accounting+Finance) @ Monash
2nd Pref Commerce @ Monash
3rd pref Business @ Monash

[*Roxxii*]

Oooops i just realised on the first page you said
"Not the Bachelor of Business (Banking and Finance) or Bachelor of Business (Accounting)"

Those are the 2 i'm tossing up between
But then, what is the difference between Bachelor of Business (Accounting) and Bachelor of Business  majoring in Accounting?

[costargh]

Essentialy nothing, except Business you're not limited iin ur major

[*Roxxii*]

Ahhh ok thanks

So I'm guessing the same would apply for Commerce (Accounting+Finance) and Commerce @ Monash?

If so, why is the enter higher for Commerce (Accounting+Finance) ? lol

[costargh]

Demand/supply

It's currently second on mine (with Clayton Commerce first). I don't know what I'm going to major in, which is sorta why I chose it. Though a lot of commerce courses have a general first year, RMIT makes you choose your major from the get go, and La Trobe has some weird professional recognition (you have to do Accounting for CPA/ICAA and even though you study it in Business, you can only get recognition from either a marketing or hr association doing that course).

Re-reading Monash's course thingy, I think I like Caulfield's course structure better than Clayton's. There's only 6 compulsory first year subjects as opposed to the Clayton's 8, though looking at the list of compulsory units, all of the majors except for Business Law, HR Management and Marketing ask you to complete additional units in the first year, which sorta makes that point moot.

I'm still a bit unclear on some things, though. For electives, it says that they can be outside the faculty, but does that include outside the campus? For example, if I go to Caulfield, can I study a language at Clayton? Say that's the case, but I also need to do 7 business units, what options do I have in continuing that language? Also, do the units that start with a '1' have to be completed in the first year? Just wanted to make sure, thanks for any help.

Level 1 units do not have 2 b completed in 1st year, but they r '1st year'/beginner units.
Pretty sure there's a max of 10 lvl 1 units u're allowed 2 do (or some number close 2 that).

Yes, u can do a language @ Clayton if u're studying @ Caulfield.

If u're short on credit points and will b unable 2 complete a language major, then u can complete a concurrent dip in languages 4 ur chosen language
...or (if ur results r good enuf) u can overload 4 a semester or 2 so u can complete the required units.
I'm sure there r other options as well, but in short it sounds like u'll b able 2 do wot u want 2 do (gathering I figured that out properly from ur post XD).

not a bad degree. considering the wide range of specialisations that are offered.
personally i would major in marketing as employment prospects are endless
