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: Finance
Finance is the study of financial institutions, markets and instruments, their effect on the flow of funds within the economy, and the control of risk. A career in this dynamic field has the potential not only to take you around the world, but also to make a considerable impact on people across the globe.

In the Finance major, you’ll focus on three core areas: corporate finance, financial analysis, and portfolio management. Complementary units in accounting, economics, statistics, computing and actuarial studies allow you to develop a comprehensive understanding of the discipline and its practical applications.
