COURSE DESCRIPTION
Summary
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. The Bachelor of Environment explores critical environmental systems and processes, relationships between humans and their environments, and the interactions that influence sustainable futures. It’s founded in the scientific aspects of the environment, the effects of human-induced changes, and the management of resources. You’ll become highly knowledgeable about how individuals, societies and governments can best navigate a path towards sustainability, and economic and social prosperity. With huge growth projected in the environment sector in the coming years, this skill set will see you in high demand.
