About this course

The Bachelor of Commerce gives students a grounding in business, accounting, analytics and ethics, then lets them specialise in a Management, International Business or Marketing major. It is an Edith Cowan University degree delivered at the Rajagiriya campus, and the majors were developed in consultation with industry. Every student takes a set of core business units, from Foundations of Business and Accounting and Finance Essentials to Business Analytics and Ethics and Responsibility in Business. Work and Career, Professional Engagement and Planning and Professional Practice build the situated learning experience, and graduates leave with a career e-portfolio. The Marketing major is accredited by the Australian Marketing Institute (AMI). The course aims to develop leadership, teamwork, critical thinking, communication and problem-solving, and ECU lists roles such as business analyst, management consultant, trade manager and operations manager as possible destinations.
