In addition to the primary major options - Accounting, Business Analytics, Economics, Finance, Management and Marketing - our students are currently enrolled in around 70 different majors and minors from across the University.
One of the truly innovative features of the Bachelor of Commerce is an entrepreneurial core, which consists of three interlinked subjects developing valuable graduate capabilities. You will first learn to identify an idea or practical solution to a real-world challenge. You will then improve your ability to communicate your solution and negotiate it with the stakeholders. In the final subject, you will develop your capacity to implement your solution in a real-world context. All these skills make you a more effective leader, preparing you to meet the challenges of automation, AI-driven technologies and big data.
