Commerce and Economics - B2032
In simplest terms, commerce focuses on how the world of business works. Economics considers the world of business as part of a bigger, broader picture that involves industries, governments and the societies we live and work in. Both use data, quantitative modelling and analytical thinking to uncover patterns and drive change. Both provide plenty of pathways for an impactful career.
Which makes this double degree one of the most effective combinations for setting yourself up for future success. You’ll learn skills to help shape a commercial landscape that’s more sustainable and equitable for people around the world. So that businesses and societies alike can thrive into the future.
YOUR BUSINESS CAREER BEGINS HERE
The Bachelor of Commerce is a comprehensive degree that builds your commercial knowledge and develops your analytical skillset. You’ll dive deeper into the data, numbers and quantitative truths that define modern business – and explore how they inform commercial decisions and developments. You’ll also have the opportunity to major in fields like accounting, economics, marketing science, sustainability and more – so you can tailor your studies to reflect the subject areas that most spark your curiosity.
DOUBLE YOUR OPTIONS
The Bachelor of Economics equips you with the tools, policies and theories that form the foundation of modern economics. From there, you can choose to apply your analytical skillset to one of four key specialisations – business analytics, macroeconomics, economic policy or econometrics. Sustainable economic practice and equity will positively influence your perspective throughout this course, as you think analytically to find solutions to some of society’s most urgent challenges.
IMAGINE WHAT YOU COULD DO
Both degrees are defined by numbers, but the career pathways are countless. Individually, you might choose to apply your analytical abilities and professional skills to transform businesses and manage organisations – or you might lean into your economic understanding and shape a career in either the public or private sector.
Collectively, these two degrees complement each in ways that can amplify your positive impact. From managing the finances of a sustainable company to consulting on affordable housing initiatives, economic and commercial expertise can inspire change far beyond the expected.
