Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting)
Bachelor of Commerce (Finance)

The combined degrees program of Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting), Bachelor of Commerce (Finance)/Bachelor of Business requires the completion of a minimum of 145.5 units of study.

Students who gain admission to the Bachelor of Commerce may, at enrolment, elect to enter the combined program provided that their admission TER score is equal to or above that required for admission to the Bachelor of Business in that year.

Eligible students who decline the offer to take up the combined degrees program at enrolment and wish in a subsequent year to enrol in the combined degrees program will be required to apply to SATAC for admission to the other degree. In some cases these students may have to undertake more than 145.5 units to complete the requirements of the combined degrees program and they are encouraged to seek advice from the relevant Chair of Course Management Committee or nominee before applying.

Students who commence but subsequently do not wish to complete the combined degrees program will normally be eligible to transfer to either the Bachelor of Business or Bachelor of Commerce program and receive credit for some or all of the topics already completed.
