COURSE DESCRIPTION
Study Deakin’s Bachelor of Commerce and earn a well-recognised qualification that’s a pathway into the professions. You will receive an education that’s relevant to industry via commerce majors accredited to each discipline’s top industry bodies. Plus, you will get a taste of professional life and understand what it takes to be job ready with work-integrated learning and experiential learning programs.
A traditional yet contemporary degree, the ‘B Com’ is designed to help you find a professional fit and a passion for a discipline, whether it’s accounting, economics, finance, financial planning, human resource management, information systems, management or marketing. With opportunities to develop personally, to hone adaptability, curiosity, imagination, innovation, entrepreneurial thinking and confidence, you will increase your chance of success and develop your professional capability.
How can Deakin’s Bachelor of Commerce set you up for a successful global career?
You will graduate with three pillars of professional skills sought after by employers: financial acumen, market knowledge and management smarts. Academically, you will acquire deep knowledge, applied skills and networks. Professionally, you will nurture connections with peers and with the professional environment while learning to deal with change, turbulence and renewal.
From day one of your degree, you will participate in development opportunities using industry-standard tools. At the same time, you will build commercial skills in your specialised area that allow for entry into a ‘vertical’ discipline that forms a profession in commerce. Major study areas include:
accounting
economics
finance
financial planning
human resource management
management

marketing
To increase your scope, you may wish to complement your major with up to two minors. This improves the ‘package’ that you can present to potential employers. You can choose minors from:

You will have opportunities to interact with your peers, society and industry bodies on Deakin Business School’s work-integrated learning (WIL) program, gaining work experience that counts towards your degree. This experience rounds out your university tenure to help kickstart your career.
