Double degree courses include the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced.
Commerce
The Bachelor of Commerce is a comprehensive course, structured in three equal parts. In the double degree course you complete the following two parts:
- Part A. Commerce specified study
This will provide you with a broad foundation for your study of commerce and expose you to several commerce disciplines. This will contribute breadth to your knowledge of commerce and address the graduate course outcomes. It will also give you the opportunity to learn more about each discipline before finalising your choice of major.
- Part B. Commerce listed major (excludes Finance)
This will provide you with a focused program of study that will develop your expertise in one discipline area. You will develop, apply and communicate an advanced level of understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks that constitute the knowledge base of your major area of study. Due to the double degree structure, the Finance major is not available in this course.
Finance
The Bachelor of Finance is a comprehensive course that develops through the themes of foundation commerce knowledge, specialist discipline knowledge, capstone experience and elective breadth/depth study.
- Part A. Foundation commerce knowledge
These units will provide you with a comprehensive study of economics and econometrics disciplines and the impact they have on multi-discipline decision-making in organisations. The units consider the impact on the business, professional and public policy communities.
- Part B. Specialist discipline knowledge
These units will develop your capacity as a critical and creative professional who is able to apply your knowledge of finance to provide discipline based solutions to commerce. Units contained within the discipline specialisation may meet the requirements for professional accreditation bodies.
- Part C. Capstone experience
The capstone unit is designed to consolidate the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the study of your specialisation.
