Even if you are planning to work as an engineer, scientist or lawyer (just to name a few), you may ultimately want to work as the manager of a firm, or run your own business. Combining your engineering or science or law studies with a Bachelor of Commerce gives you a head start. You graduate equipped to operate in a commercial setting. If you combine a Bachelor of Commerce with a Bachelor of Economics you can major in Economics, Accounting and Finance. This very popular combination of three majors sets graduates apart from the rest in the employment market.

This can be particularly beneficial if you have ambitions in international business, politics or diplomacy.
Eight electives from Business and Economics or from any other faculty. With careful unit selection, students are able to complete three majors, the most popular combination is: accounting, economics and finance. High achieving Year 12 students will be eligible for the Bachelor of Commerce Scholars program/Bachelor of Economics. As a Scholar, you will receive a $6000 per annum scholarship, mentoring by senior faculty staff, and access to a Scholar study room. You will be eligible to attend guest lecturers, workshops and seminars. The Scholars program is competitive and limited in number. You will need an ATAR of 98+
