Commerce (Business Economics), Bachelor

The Bachelor of Commerce program cultivates students' analytical, communication, and problem-solving abilities, while imparting a global perspective on business and equipping them for careers in the business, government, or not-for-profit sectors.

Economics is a core subject in the world of commerce. Most business disciplines draw on basic principles from economics. This Business Economics major is, therefore, a complement to other majors in the Bachelor of Commerce. Students completing this major will understand how developments in areas such as technology, consumer behaviour, market structures, competition policy, trade and globalisation relate to real-world business problems. Upon graduation students are positioned to apply for generalist career opportunities in the public and private sectors or for specialist positions depending on your second major. Students majoring in economics and finance, for example, may consider pursuing a career as a financial economist. Similarly students majoring in economics and law may pursue a career in fields such as economic regulation.
