    About

    More than just numbers. Study a commerce degree.

    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 to major in two Commerce areas (e.g. Accounting and Finance), or opt for your second major in Business area (e.g. Marketing), to graduate a competitive candidate, in just three years.

    A sense of global citizenship is imparted through international case studies and cross-cultural analysis. Through courses in your chosen major, you will gain insight into the interlinkages between financial, legal, political and economic systems and how these factors influence the contemporary business environment, both in Australian and global context.
