Bachelor of Commerce

Study Deakin’s Bachelor of Commerce and earn a well-recognised qualification that is a pathway into the professions. You will receive an education that is relevant to industry via commerce majors accredited to each discipline’s top industry bodies. Plus, you will get a taste of professional life along with an understanding of what it takes to be job-ready through our work-integrated learning and experiential learning programs.

The ‘B Com’ is a traditional degree, designed to help you find a professional fit through practical and contemporary teaching methods.

How can Deakin's Bachelor of Commerce set you up for a successful global career?

You will graduate with three pillars of professional skills sought after by employers: financial acumen, market knowledge and management smarts. Academically, you will acquire deep knowledge, applied skills and peer networks. Professionally, you will nurture industry connections while learning to deal with change, turbulence and renewal.

From day one of your degree, you will participate in development opportunities using industry-standard tools. At the same time, you will build commercial skills in your specialised area that allow for entry into a ‘vertical’ discipline that forms a profession in commerce. Major study areas include:

• accounting
• economics
• finance
• financial planning
• human resource management
• management
• management information systems
• marketing

To increase your scope, you may wish to complement your major with up to two minors. This improves the ‘package’ that you can present to potential employers. You can choose minors from:

• accounting
• business analytics
• economics
• entrepreneurship
• emerging technology
• event management
• finance
• global and social impact studies
• human resource management
• international trade
• international business
• marketing
• people management
• production management.
• project management
• property investments
• recruitment and talent acquisition
• retail management
• sustainability and development
• wealth management.

You will have opportunities to interact with your peers, society and industry bodies through Deakin Business School’s work-integrated learning (WIL) program, gaining work experience that counts towards your degree. This experience rounds out your university tenure to help kickstart your career.

• Certify supporting documents

  Most documents need to be certified. For example, award certificates, academic transcripts and your identity papers (passport). Documents in languages other than English will also need to be translated. Take the original document and a photocopy to an authorised person (for example, justice of the peace, public notary, member of the police force or Australian lawyer), to sign.

  Be sure to attach all requested supporting documentation, otherwise your application could be delayed. If you get your application in early, this gives us more time to arrange visas and accommodation if you need them.

• Submit your application

  Depending on your nationality and country of residence, you can submit your application directly to Deakin through our online international student application service StudyLink Connect or through a Deakin authorised agent.
