Combine your interest in the arts and social sciences with a broad understanding of business through studies in accounting, economics, finance, management and marketing.

Your Bachelor of Commerce offers a choice of five majors:

• Accounting
• Economics
• Finance
• Management
• or Marketing.

In your first year, along with foundational business subjects, you'll work as part of a small multidisciplinary Business Foundations project team to research a social problem and develop an action plan. In second year you'll take on a Sustainability project, in which your team will define a solution to a local environmental issue. In third year, you'll further enhance your research, presentation, analysis and problem-solving skills through the Entrepreneurship project, in which your team will identify a business opportunity and develop a business plan.

You'll have the option to take part in the Professional Practice in Business program, which offers internships, practicums, case studies, travel tours, company visits and professional industry-led seminars.

Alongside your business studies, you can choose from a range of arts subjects including languages, literature, history, journalism, philosophy and politics to create a degree specifically tailored to your interests.

The qualification awarded on graduation is recognised in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) as Level 7 - Bachelor Degree.
