Leading to: Bachelor of Commerce
This degree is designed to hone your skills in one or more business disciplines, readying you for a specialised career in this dynamic industry. It’s a great choice for pursuing careers such as an accountant, financial planner, business analyst, tourism marketing manager, talent acquisition specialist, or supply chain manager.
You’ll begin by studying a suite of core units in business. You'll explore value-creation in business, learn to use financial information to make informed and responsible decisions, and develop business intelligence and analytical capabilities to interpret data. This will provide you with a strong base to build on as you progress through the course. You'll also choose your preferred discipline/s, and begin study in this area.
In your second year, you'll continue to develop expertise in your chosen discipline/s. You’ll further develop your decision-making and leadership skills, which are essential in a future marketplace. You’ll also benefit from exposure to industry through field trips, work-related tasks, guest lectures and networking events.
In your final year you’ll undertake a capstone experience, enabling you to apply your skills in an industry environment.
Real-world learning is an important component of this degree. Depending on your chosen major, you might gain hands-on skills in industry software such as Refinitiv Workspace (for stock market trading and analysis), or have opportunities to undertake extra-curricular work experience, such as volunteering at the Curtin Tax Clinic.
As a graduate of this course, you’ll have the strong business acumen and specialised skillset required to thrive in your chosen career.
Major: Finance and Financial Planning
Financial planning involves understanding budgeting, investing and risk management to help people make informed financial decisions. As a financial planner or advisor, you'll be contributing to people’s financial wellbeing and helping them achieve their life goals as well as plan for their future.
In this double major, you'll learn about financial principles and markets, and become skilled in areas such as tax law, corporate finance, portfolio management, estate planning, ethics and compliance.
You’ll also delve into behavioural finance, learning about the psychology behind people’s financial decisions and behaviours. Through this holistic approach, you’ll learn to provide insightful financial advice tailored to meet each client’s individual goals.
In this industry-aligned course, you’ll have access to professional software, such as XPLAN and Refinitiv Workspace, and engage with finance experts through guest lectures. In your final year, you’ll apply your skills through a 120-hour internship with a licensed financial planner.
A career as a financial advisor is an excellent opportunity to use your natural flair for analysis and planning to help others. You could also explore career opportunities in fintech, with an increasing market for apps and AI tools that offer quality financial advice.
To practise as a financial advisor in Australia, you’ll need to sit ASIC’S financial advisor exam and complete one year of professional work and training. Curtin's accredited course is the only direct undergraduate pathway in Western Australia to qualify you to sit the financial advisor exam.
