Bachelor of Commerce

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, before you specialise in Accounting, Economics, or Finance. With the new structure of the Bachelor of Commerce degree, you have the option to choose a double specialization in one traditional commerce major: Accounting, Economics, or Finance, and a major in business: Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Leadership and Management, Human Resource Management or International Relations, broadening your skills and employability.
