Bachelor of Commerce

Bachelor · 3 years

The Bachelor of Commerce sits alongside the Bachelor of Business but leans more analytical and quantitative — with majors in accounting, finance, economics, econometrics, and actuarial studies. It’s a common choice for students aiming at professional accounting accreditation or finance careers.

What’s covered

  • Financial and management accounting
  • Microeconomics and macroeconomics
  • Corporate finance and investment
  • Business statistics and data analysis
  • A major in accounting, finance, economics, or a related field

Visa pathway

A completed CRICOS-registered Bachelor of Commerce generally qualifies graduates for the Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate visa, with 2–3 years of post-study work rights. Accounting majors can target the professional pathways recognised by CPA Australia and CA ANZ.

Entry requirements

  • Year 12 or international equivalent, often with mathematics
  • IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0 (institute-specific)
