<strong>Course</strong> overview<br />

<strong>Swinburne</strong>’s Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Arts<br />

(Language) is a unique course offering students a<br />

choice of two languages: Italian or Japanese (with<br />

no previous language knowledge) <strong>and</strong> associated<br />

area studies including culture, social, political <strong>and</strong><br />

economic aspects, <strong>and</strong> an array of business<br />

specialisations. Completing students are eligible to<br />

receive two degrees: a Bachelor of Business <strong>and</strong> a<br />

Bachelor of Arts (Italian or Japanese).<br />

In addition to the academic <strong>and</strong> practical skills<br />

which this course provides, it also opens up a<br />

myriad of international study <strong>and</strong> work<br />

opportunities upon which to build networks within<br />

the country of a student’s chosen language studies.<br />

The three year intensive language sequence<br />

assumes no prior knowledge of the language.<br />

Advanced entry is available for students who have<br />

passed VCE level Italian or Japanese.<br />

Major studies<br />

In the first year of the course students undertake a<br />

range of foundation studies across all Business<br />

disciplines enabling students to ‘sample’ subject<br />

areas before committing. Subjects include:<br />

Accounting, Microeconomics, Organisations <strong>and</strong><br />

Management, Law in Global Business, The<br />

Marketing Concept, Quantitative Analysis, <strong>and</strong><br />

Information Systems.<br />

Students are required to undertake at least one<br />

language from Italian or Japanese <strong>and</strong> undertake a<br />

major study sequence in at least one of:<br />

Accounting, Finance, Human Resource<br />

Management/Organisation Behaviour, Information<br />

Systems, International Business, Management,<br />

Manufacturing Management or Marketing (see<br />

separate entries for further details on each of<br />

these, refer page 24-26).<br />

Students can also undertake another major or<br />

minor study sequence to single subjects, depending<br />

on career aspirations or interests (refer to list on<br />

page 24).<br />

Honours<br />

An Honours degree reflects an achievement of<br />

excellence in a chosen field of study <strong>and</strong> can<br />

enhance employment prospects <strong>and</strong> increase<br />

managerial opportunities. Honours students work<br />

independently but in close consultation with a<br />

supervisor on a substantial project of their choice.<br />

Students are required to collect <strong>and</strong> analyse data<br />

<strong>and</strong> produce a substantial written thesis (10,000 to<br />

15,000 words) on their findings. Many students<br />

continue on to undertake their Honours year<br />

immediately after their Bachelors degree while<br />

others gain full-time employment <strong>and</strong> concurrently<br />

study part-time (by this method Honours would<br />

normally take two years).<br />

Honours can be undertaken in Accounting,<br />

Business Law, Business Modelling, Economics,<br />

Finance, Human Resource Management, Information<br />

Systems, International Business, Manufacturing<br />

Management, Marketing, or any of the above areas<br />

of study combined with a language component<br />

from either Italian or Japanese.<br />

Career opportunities<br />

Accountancy, advertising, company legal officer,<br />

computer programming, financial advice, human<br />

resources, market research, public relations,<br />

systems analysis, international trade, particularly in<br />

organisations where there are either joint country<br />

business ventures or offices located in the country<br />

of the chosen language.<br />

Professional recognition<br />

Associate Membership of the Institute of Corporate<br />

Managers, Secretaries <strong>and</strong> Administrators <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Australian Institute of Banking <strong>and</strong> Finance. (See<br />

also separate subject area entries for specific body<br />

recognition eg. Accounting, refer page 24)<br />

Information sessions<br />

Information sessions will be held on Sunday 22<br />

August 1999 between 11.00am <strong>and</strong> 3.00pm <strong>and</strong><br />

repeated on Tuesday 14 December 1999 between<br />

4.00pm <strong>and</strong> 9.00pm at the Hawthorn Campus.<br />

Attendance at one of these sessions is<br />

recommended.<br />

STOP PRESS<br />

During this double degree, many <strong>Swinburne</strong><br />

students elect to undertake an International Student<br />

Exchange program of either six or twelve months.<br />

Students who participate in this program believe it<br />

is an experience they will never forget. They return<br />

more confident <strong>and</strong> mature with experience that<br />

can bolster the impact of a resume. Countries<br />

where we have exchange agreements include:<br />

Canada, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Korea,<br />

Pol<strong>and</strong>, Thail<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the USA.<br />
