Full time students usually take eight subjects each year for three years. Each subject in the Bachelor of Commerce has a point value. Students must complete a total of 300 points in order to graduate. Usually this means completing 24 subjects. In selecting subjects, students must complete a certain number of points from two broad groups of subjects – the core program and the breadth component.
The course structure results in a flexible degree, where students are exposed to a wide variety of business disciplines before they are required to choose a major from the core program. Students usually choose their major at the beginning of the second year*.
*Students pursuing actuarial studies, accounting or the approved engineering subject sequence are required to choose specific subjects from the first year.
