The Bachelor of Commerce offers significant flexibility and diversity in student choice. Students can complete specialist sequences in a wide variety of business-related fields in addition to studies from elsewhere in the University. Students are required to complete 144 units typically comprised of 24 semester length courses each worth 6 units. Full-time students normally take 4 courses each semester. Within the degree structure, there are three basic components.

First, students complete a set of core courses comprising one-fourth of the degree. These core courses provide the foundations of the degree and subsequent studies build upon this knowledge. Core courses are generally taken during the first year of study and cover business reporting, financial and management accounting, commercial law, economics, finance, information systems, management  and quantitative methods and techniques.

The second component involves one or more major(s) in the student's chosen area of specialisation. A major consists of a sequence of related courses taken over three years of the degree that build upon the core courses. The major(s) can be taken from accounting, business information systems, corporate sustainability, finance, international business, management or marketing. 

The third component involves elective courses to complete the remaining units in the degree. For most students, the elective component represents around one-third of their degree. Some students opt to undertake a further specialist major as part of the elective component. This further specialist major may be taken from the ones listed above. The elective component may include further courses from the College of Business and Economics and/or courses from another College such as language, arts or science-related courses.

Students undertaking the EDUC plan will undertake the appropriate electives in order to meet the requirements of the Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary Teaching) at the University of Canberra. Further information is available from the College office.

Professional accreditation – students who intend to seek membership of CPA Australia, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia or the Australian Computer Society are required to complete specified professional sequences of courses. Further information is available from the College office.

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
