About this course

Commerce graduates are in high demand for their in-depth understanding of how accounting, business information systems 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?
  • 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 a major of your choice.

This program will set you up for a thriving career in the public or private sectors in accounting, banking, financial management, business analysis, business information systems and general management.
