Our Bachelor of Commerce has your career goals in mind. You can tailor your degree to your interests and enhance your career opportunities with specialisations in areas such as accounting and finance, marketing, event management, informatics, human resources, data analytics, entrepreneurship, Indigenous business studies, international business, and occupational health, safety and environment. Practical skills are important. You will benefit from a range of community and industry placements during your degree. In class, you will take part in workshops and will learn through gamified business simulations based on real-world situations. Plus, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, data analytics, cloud skills and cloud data services are wired into your studies - so you can tick Microsoft certification off your list.
