This degree is perfect for students looking for a career teaching business and commerce related subjects in secondary schools, and who also want the option of a professional career in business. Students study core business subjects including economics and accountancy, while also gaining valuable classroom experience through a minimum of 80 days of professional placement, with some placement being undertaken in each year of the course. The education studies provide an in-depth knowledge of the theoretical foundations of education, curriculum studies and teaching practice. Students gain an understanding of the nature of education, classroom teaching and practice in schools and the relationship between education and society. Core business units in accounting, management, marketing and business law provide students with the framework and skills needed for a career in business. Students complete a major (eight unit) and minor (four unit) sequence in commerce consisting of one of the following combinations: economics and accounting, accounting and economics, economics and management or management and economics. Depending on the units chosen, students may also be able to satisfy the requirements of professional associations.
This double degree requires the study equivalent of 4.25 years of full time study (204 credit points), however it has been structured to allow completion in just 4 years full-time or 8 years part-time. This is made possible by the incorporation of a 12 credit point study overload in the final year of the course.
Following registration with VIT graduates are qualified to teach in Victoria as secondary school teachers. Graduates wishing to teach interstate or overseas are advised to check registration requirements with local authorities. Graduates may also pursue commerce careers in accounting, business law, taxation, econometrics, management and marketing.
