COURSE DESCRIPTION
Equip yourself with the knowledge, focus and skills for a career in accounting, banking, finance or business analytics.
Commerce graduates are in high demand for their in-depth understanding of how accounting, business information systems, data analytics and finance add value to business and the global economy.
As you study our commerce program, you’ll investigate topics such as:
How can business performance be measured and assessed?
How can company, project and investment value be determined to make buy/sell decisions?
How do foreign markets, derivatives and debt markets affect my client’s portfolio?
How applications of artificial intelligence in business processes, offerings and strategies provide impactful and productive deep learning opportunities.
What is an auditor’s responsibility?
How can big data be analysed to add value?
What issues arise from operating in a virtual corporate environment?
After examining the fundamental principles of commerce, you’ll learn how you can apply and adapt them in response to specific challenges faced by businesses. You’ll build specialised knowledge and skills through your choice of one or two majors.
This program will set you up for a thriving career in the public or private sectors in accounting, banking, financial management, business analysis, data scientists, business information systems and general management.
This major is for anyone who wants to work in banking and finance, investment and portfolio management, corporate finance, risk assessment or business analysis.
It will teach you how to use research methods to understand financial problems, as well as debt and equity capital markets, funds management, real estate as an asset class, and private equity.
You’ll gain an understanding of behavioural finance, and how this underpins financial decision-making, including trading strategies, investment decisions, managerial behaviour, and institutional frictions that influence economic outcomes.
Graduates enjoy careers in corporate finance, investment banking, mergers and acquisitions, and management and financial consulting.
