The Bachelor of Commerce is a high demand degree which is valued by employers. The academic program provides students with more than a vocational degree with technical business skills. It develops analytical and decision-making skills to prepare students for future leadership roles. It is a flexible business degree providing specialisations in the specific career areas of accounting, corporate finance, international business, management and marketing. Critical thinking and communication skills are developed throughout the academic program to enable graduates to deal effectively with a continually changing business environment.

Students who specialise in accounting may join the accounting profession in all areas of commerce and industry. Admission to CPA Australia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) requires the completion of an accredited degree, practical experience and courses of study organised by the professional accounting associations. A Bachelor of Commerce is recognised as a fully accredited degree by both professional bodies. Career prospects lie in such specialised fields as taxation, auditing, management accounting, computerised accounting and finance. Specialising in corporate finance may lead to employment with trading and merchant banks, investment firms, consulting firms or private and public corporations, including government regulatory authorities. There are openings for graduates in treasury and risk management, stockbroking, fund and portfolio management, international trade and derivatives trading and pricing. Graduates who have specialised in marketing or management have the foundations for a career in these specialist areas of management, and may later move into a general management career.
