Double-degree and cross-faculty / cross-institutional entries

NOTE: double-degree and cross faculty course entries must be approved by both faculties prior to publication.

Double degrees

Double degree course entries:

• appear only once in the Handboook
• are listed in all automatic indexes, but will only appear in the managing faculty's list in the index-by-faculty
• may be listed in both faculties' manual lists of Courses offered in the faculty information section.

The double degree course entry should include all course details for both degree 'components' that have been approved by both faculties. The course description and objectives fields should normally refer to the two component degrees. A short sentence on how the two degrees provide additional combined benefits might be included.

Cross-faculty courses

Genuine cross-faculty courses can be included in the Handbook in the same way as double-degree courses. These must be courses with joint management, and which are formally approved through more than one faculty board and the DVC(E), rather than other faculties simply providing some teaching or units for the course.

Cross-institutional courses

Where a double award of any kind is by agreement with an institution other than Monash, the course description should state explicitly the teaching arrangements for the course, and that the non-Monash award is granted by the partner institution.
