Program Overview

In today’s fast-moving and complex business environment, those with advanced technical skills in accounting, analytics, economics, finance, information systems and marketing insights will find themselves in demand across a wide range of sectors. A knowledge of commerce is also increasingly valuable in careers such as health, law, psychology, science and technology.

In the Bachelor of Commerce, you’ll study a set of extensive and integrated foundation units that will orient you to commerce and business, followed by one or two majors to develop depth and specialisation in your chosen discipline. You’ll also acquire a set of sought-after employability skills – data literacy, business analysis, teamwork, communication, conflict resolution, problem solving, critical thinking and a global mindset, among others – all key competencies that today’s top employers regard extremely highly.

Major: Economics
Economists understand complicated economic and social processes, inform businesses and governments on how best to use scarce resources, and contribute to the development of economic policies to ensure economic prosperity.

The Economics major provides an excellent education in the leading theories and concepts involved in modern economics. The quantitative and analytical skills you’ll acquire will enable you to understand how individuals make optimal economic decisions, how organisations operate in the global economy, and how governments respond to home and global economic challenges.
