Macquarie University

Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Psychology

Generic programmes and qualifications

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. Your competitive edge is further enhanced via an embedded employability unit – learn to craft a standout CV and LinkedIn profile, refine your personal brand and sharpen your interview skills – and tailored industry events that facilitate networking opportunities. 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. In the Bachelor of Psychology, you’ll build foundational skills through a set of core units before broadening your knowledge via one of three interdisciplinary majors in cognitive science, counselling or psychological science. Many of your teachers are psychologists who actively practice or consult with major organisations, such as the Australian Defence Force and elite sporting clubs. Their deep research expertise in areas such as mental health, cognition, behaviour, human experience and challenges across the lifespan ensures your learning is tied to real-world insight. When followed by an honours year, this degree is a pathway to postgraduate study, which will enable you to become a qualified psychologist.
