Commerce and Science

As a graduate with a double degree in a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Science, you will be a scientist with a professional level of commerce skills. The skills developed in the Bachelor of Commerce will complement the expertise gained in the Bachelor of Science and will allow you to become capable of making sound decisions while practising in your chosen scientific field.

This degree focuses on sciences in a commerce context and allows you to major in one area of Science and one area of Commerce. The Science major options are Computing, Environment and Sustainability, Information Technology, Mathematics, and Mathematics and Statistics, and Wine Science. The Commerce majors include Accounting, Business Law, Finance, General Commerce, Information Technology Management, Sustainable Business, and Sustainable Economics and Policy.

When graduating with a double degree, you will receive a separate testamur (official certificate) for each degree and will be able to complete the double degree in less time than if you chose to study the two degrees separately.
