The Bachelor of Commerce is a practical and flexible degree, with core courses designed to give you a thorough overview of business and commerce environments. Choose two majors in two Commerce areas (e.g., Accounting and Finance), or opt for your second major in a Business area (e.g., Marketing), to graduate as a competitive candidate in just three years. When you study a commerce degree, you will be equipped to make a smooth transition from the classroom to the boardroom, by acquiring practical skills that employers value, such as problem-solving and critical thinking. A sense of global citizenship is imparted through international case studies and cross-cultural analysis. Through courses in your chosen major, you will gain insights into the interlinkages between financial, legal, political and economic systems and how these factors influence the contemporary business environment, both in the Australian and global context.
