Bachelor of Commerce

Programme structure
A BCom with a double major is a three-year degree programme. You will be required to complete a minimum of 24 courses (360 points). In your first year, you will complete a new, integrated set of core courses, experiencing the multi-disciplinary environment that businesses operate in, and two further courses depending on the major(s) you are planning to take*.

A double major requires careful planning.  
 

You will also be required to select two General Education papers – this is a distinctive feature of our University’s degree designed to broaden your education. 
 

• If you wish to major in Accounting you will need to enrol in ACCTG 102 in your first year.
• If you wish to major in Economics you will need to enrol in ECON 152 in your first year.
• If you wish to major in Finance you will need to enrol in ACCTG 102 and MATHS 108 in your first year.

 

In your second year you’ll engage in a Business Consulting core course. In your third year, you’ll choose a capstone core course – select from an industry-based project, a business simulation, a live business case or an internship.
 

*Maximum of two courses from outside the BCom schedule.
 

Most students need to take one or two General Education courses.

 

Students should also be aware of the University’s Academic English Language Requirement.
