The Faculty of Business and Economics comprises the departments of Accounting and Finance, Business Law and Taxation, Econometrics and Business Statistics, Economics, Management, and Marketing, and it is represented on five of the University's campuses in Victoria - Berwick, Caulfield, Clayton, Gippsland and Peninsula, at the Sunway campus in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and at other overseas locations, particularly in Asia.
Courses are available through flexible delivery, distance education and on-campus modes.
The mission of the Faculty is to use its scale, scope and unique internal diversity to become an international leader in the pursuit, dissemination and analysis of knowledge, particularly in the disciplines of accounting, banking, business law, business statistics, econometrics, economics, electronic commerce, finance, international business and international trade, management, marketing, taxation and tourism. By the application of that knowledge, its staff and students will contribute to the economic, social and commercial development of Australia and its neighbours and trading partners. The Faculty has approximately 12,000 students enrolled in a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Research is actively encouraged at postgraduate level through University and Faculty scholarships, with approximately 200 students currently enrolled in higher degrees by research in a wide range of disciplines across the Faculty. These centres make a significant contribution to the engagement, international and research profiles of the Faculty and, in addition to contributing approximately 50 per cent of Research Quantum funds, they attract funds from the Australian Research Council, the National Health and Medical Research Council, industry, and governments, local and overseas.
