COURSE DESCRIPTION
Our Bachelor of Commerce has your career goals in mind. To start, 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.
Upon graduating you’ll be ready to launch straight into your career thanks to our Future Ready employability program, designed to systematically build each of the elements of your personal brand: your professional identity; experience; job-ready skills; and networks.
When you begin, our unique Business Foundation Program, co-created with industry and integrated across all our business courses, assists you as you transition to university study and provides a solid foundation of business skills. Plus, it helps you gain an understanding of different areas of business, so you can identify your personal interests before choosing your specialisation.
Practical skills are important. So you’ll benefit from a range of community and industry placements during your degree. In class, you’ll 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 certifications off your to-do list and get an edge in the job market.
In today’s world, you need professional, technical and cross-cultural skills. We are members of PRME so all our units are embedded with the United Nations sustainable goals and our intercultural communication module is designed to build cultural awareness and communication skills which are vital in the global workplace. You can further extend your intercultural experience by taking part in a Global Virtual Classroom, studying at our Rome Campus or participating in an international study tour.
We’ve structured our business courses to grow with you. Your first-year units are delivered on campus, so you have face-to-face support, guidance and build friendships. As your academic confidence builds, your second-year units will be delivered as a mix of online and on campus.
By your third year the blended learning approach will give you the flexibility to juggle your growing work commitments while you study.
