Not necessarily. Each major has got a certain number of subjects that you'll need to take. So if you're to double major, what it means is that you'll need to fulfill the required subjects for both majors. You may or may not have anymore slots, depending on your combination.

Basically, those in business needs at least one major. However the choice of whether to take on a second major or not also depends on your area of interest. Not doing a second major will give you more room to take other subjects across the different areas, or even from other courses (assuming that you can meet the requirements of the other courses). taking on subjects from IT or Communications had been a rather popular choice before.

Personally I don't think that Network security related courses are suitable at the undergrad level, as such type of work involved revolves mainly around working experience with networks. And there's no way that its possible to cram enough content into a 3 year degree for such specializations. Hence its better to take something more fundamental for your undergrad degree, then look for professional certifications for the specializations.

From KLCC, I guess you can take the LRT to Kelana Jaya, then switch to the feeder bus that'll drop you off at the Pyramid. Correct me if I'm a bit off on this though, as I've not taken the feeder bus in years.

Added on August 26, 2009, 11:32 amMonash Malaysia is a full campus, hence the term 'twinning programme' does not really apply. However for courses that are offered in multiple campuses, you do have the option to transfer between campuses. But check with the relevant school for details on this, as each school will have different requirements in order for you to do the transfer.

Added on August 26, 2009, 11:34 amOn the getting into Monash and the exemptions, you'll need to give the engineering school a call and ask them yourself.

The cert and transcripts are the same regardless of which campus you're from.

The business school was one huge mess before, with each campus having their own differences. So far for FIT, its a bit easier, especially for Comp Sci, where the subjects are exactly the same, with the same subject code as well as in Clayton.

wow, so soon already? Anymore conspiracies like the previous years?

but don't you think that the team names sound more like some sort of fruit cocktail drink?

and speaking of musa, did they ever managed to get that website of theirs back online?

This is because the Australian and the UK definition of honors is totally different.

In the Australian system, the extra honors year is not something that you can just go and enroll in, but is something that is offered to you only by invitation depending on how well you do in your undergrad years (usually the 2nd and 3rd year are taken into account).

if you're asking about the Bachelor of IT, then I can't really tell much difference, apart from it being known as the course offered to those who don't qualify for the Bachelor of Comp Sci, or those who had dropped out of the Bachelor of Comp Sci.

If you're asking about the Bachelor of Comp Sci, then first read this to see the difference between IT and Comp Sci.

Now, there's very few places actually offering a proper Comp Sci course, and Monash is one of them. Check out the links in that post as well, especially this one: http://www.cs4fn.org/fundamentals/

Keep in mind though that Comp Sci at Monash tends to have up to a 30% dropout rate by the end of the first year.

The results will be given only to the person who's name is enrolled in Monash. In fact, even if your parents are to go over there to demand for your results, their request will not be entertained.

But do take note that this can be abused too.

Only if its an elective. No such thing as NP for core subjects.

Yes, core subjects are the compulsory subjects. Thus no, no such thing as a NP for any subject at all that forms part of your major.

Seriously though, try to imagine an example like this... a graduate with a major in perhaps, Biz Law & Taxation, but got NP for a law paper. damn weird right?

Both yes and no.

Yes in the sense that The Bachelor of Business & Commerce do exist in Australia. However its only offered at Berwick, Gippsland and the Peninsular campuses.

No in the sense that its not offered at Clayson that you're looking at. So yes, should you wish to go to Clayton, then you'll need to switch to the Bachelor of Commerce. Consult your school manager on this for more detailed information.

Dude, there IS such a course in Australia. It just happened to be not at Clayton or Caulfield.

Its offered at Berwick, Gippsland & Peninsula.

http://www.monash.edu.au/study/coursefinder/course/2224/

yup, the first thing in ppl's mind is either Clayton or Caulfield, and that does mess things up quite a bit. But think about it, the mess is to be expected anyways, as wanting to get into these 2 campuses involves switching to a different course with different entry requirements. Which means that in order to make the switch, you'll need to have your grades at a certain level too (check with the school manager on the exact specifics)

Its a legacy problem And it used to be far worse too. Such consolidations are happening, but it takes time. But right now they're looking at converting the Bachelor of Business & Commerce at the Malaysian campus to the Bachelor of Commerce as in Clayton, and a delegation from Clayton was here last year for it. If it does happen, it also means that the entry requirement for the Malaysian campus is gonna shoot right up too.

Added on January 28, 2010, 4:17 pmFIT used to be worse than BusEco actually, just that FIT managed to consolidate faster than BusEco managed to. Before the consolidation, the only courses that are identical are the Bachelor of Computer Science @ Clayton and Malaysia.

whoah! RM100 now.

Anyways, the fee is for the running of the Monash University Student Association (Malaysia), of which every single student is a member of. The misconception that a lot of ppl tend to have here is in the thinking that the fee is for the student council. Its not. Its for the student association. The student council is merely the elected body that governs the student association.

So hence, seeing that every single student needs to pay this fee, its also up to the students to ensure and pressure the student council to do their jobs right.

Twinning is when you transfer between different universities.

either way its the same isn't it? You'll still need to do well enough.

Not if you're to transfer into the same course once again. But this still brings up the question of, if you're not transferring into Clayton or Caulfield (of which both involves a change of course), then it might not be worth the effort.

Not too sure in regards to the open electives as per the business school, but I'll use the IT school as an example here.

In Comp Sci, there's 3 types of subjects:
- core
- elective (or Comp Sci electives)
- free/open elective

core subjects are well, the subjects compulsory to the course. you cannot escape these.

the electives are the subjects that you can choose from a given list of subjects

free/open electives are subjects that you can choose from anywhere. does not have to be an IT subject, it can even be a business or communications subject.

btw. do you mean 1st year or 1st semester? 'cause you can only do 4 subjects max in a semester, and there's also 6 common cores for the Bachelor of Business & Commerce. If in doubt, go and see your course manager right away on how to plan your subjects accordingly to your selected major. the last thing that you want is a mess up that results in you needing to do extra semesters to get your major.
