Commerce and Global Studies - B2006
Our world is more connected than ever, with commerce at its core. The commercial landscape influences how economies and societies function, presenting both exciting opportunities and challenging inequities at a global scale.
In this double degree, you’ll dive into the data, numbers and quantitative truths that can be found within the world of business. You’ll also explore the global context shaping international cultures and communities – and how decisions made at a commercial level can impact far beyond the boardroom. As a result, you’ll establish yourself as a curious, analytical thinker equipped to drive more positive, sustainable business practices worldwide.
YOUR BUSINESS CAREER BEGINS HERE
Through the Bachelor of Commerce, you’ll build a solid foundation in commercial knowledge, learning how analytical expertise influences everything from business innovation to economic policy. With a clear focus on the mathematical and data-driven aspects of commerce, you can choose to apply these quantitative skills to fields like accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing science, sustainability and more.
DOUBLE YOUR OPTIONS
The Bachelor of Global Studies will keep the international impact of commerce front of mind at every step. You’ll discover more about global challenges like poverty, racism, gender inequality, the rich-poor gap, crime and more – while exploring progressive, solutions-based approaches too. International study is a key part of this degree – including Monash’s Global Immersion Guarantee, study tours and opportunities to study at prestigious overseas partner universities.
IMAGINE WHAT YOU COULD DO
These two degrees complement each other in ways that open up a diverse range of rewarding and impactful career pathways. Graduates go on to work in domestic roles within government agencies, not-for-profit organisations, globally-connected corporations and more. You’ll complete your studies with in-demand and internationally transferable commercial skills – as well as the communication, leadership and cultural sensitivity skills to lead positive change in various ways.
