Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics

The Bachelor of Commerce focuses on data-driven decision-making, which, when combined with interdisciplinary learning and extensive industry engagement, will set you apart when you graduate. You’ll build foundational skills through a set of core units before broadening your knowledge via one of 10 interdisciplinary majors in areas such as accounting, business analytics, economics, finance, HR and marketing. And you’ll become adept in key competencies highly regarded by today’s top employers: data literacy, business analysis, teamwork, communication, conflict resolution, problem-solving and critical thinking – all with a global mindset. The Bachelor of Economics will arm you with the integrated problem-solving and data analysis skills to tackle contemporary economic challenges. You’ll develop industry-relevant capabilities from day one through work-integrated learning that prepares you for diverse job prospects, such as consultant, policy analyst, economist, loans offer or risk analyst. And by combining the degree with a second in a high-demand field such as actuarial studies, applied finance, business analytics, commerce or law – or by pursuing a second major in a complementary or entirely different area – you’ll gain a powerful mix of skills and knowledge that broadens your expertise and enhances your career prospects.
