What you will learn

This degree combines both practical and theoretical components so that students gain a holistic appreciation and understanding of the business environment, along with insights into aspects of psychology, political science, cultural studies and sociology.

As part of the Bachelor of Commerce, you will have the opportunity to major in a variety of disciplines such as Accounting, Economics, Finance, Human Resource Management, Management, Marketing, Public Relations and Sport & Recreation Management. This wide choice of majors allows you to customise your degree to suit your personal and professional interests and academic strengths.

The Bachelor of Behavioural Science is based on the premise of social justice and equity for all people. It concerns itself with the practical application of such principles to all aspects of human interaction. A Behavioural Scientist values human diversity and works collaboratively with communities to identify and advance the goals of the group and the individuals who comprise it. Behavioural Science promotes the concept of wellbeing and aims to facilitate this at the individual, relational and community levels. Your knowledge and skills in business and commerce will combine well with this people-centred focus.

As part of your double degree, you will undertake at least 90 hours in the Behavioural Science Internship course. This course provides valuable on-the-job experience, interaction with professional practitioners and a network of contacts. You will be able to apply your knowledge and skills, and to learn a whole lot more, in a professional workplace.
