Monash's commitment to double degrees means students can graduate with a powerful combination of qualifications, while completing only one additional year of study. This double degree provides students with the skills and expertise to pursue careers in either teaching or business, while broadening a graduate's knowledge base in both fields.
Primary education studies provide in-depth knowledge of the theoretical foundations of education, curriculum studies and practical experiences in schools and other appropriate settings. A minimum of 80 days of professional placement is required, with some being undertaken in each year of the course. Core primary units focus on teaching and children's learning in a social setting, covering the disciplines of the arts, English, mathematics, health and physical education, science, the humanities and information and communications technologies.
The business and commerce degree provides a solid foundation in business studies, along with the flexibility to enable you to specialise in one or more areas. Students study core units in introductory accounting, introductory microeconomics, business statistics, business law, managing people and organisations, and marketing. Students also complete a major (eight units) and minor (four units) sequence in business disciplines, plus units from the Bachelor of Education.
This double degree enables graduates to work as primary school teachers and in a range of professional roles in business, industry, government and international organisations depending on their specialisation. Following registration with VIT graduates are qualified to teach in Victoria. Graduates wishing to teach interstate or overseas are advised to check registration requirements with local authorities.
