With New Zealand’s leading Bachelor of Commerce programme you will learn from the country’s best teachers and mentors. You will get a taste of every aspect of the business world before deciding on a major or double major that’s right for you.
The real-world skills, knowledge and experience you will gain, along with the programme’s world-class accreditation and strong links to industry, will see you thrive in any industry you choose.
You’ll experience our innovative, first year in Business programme, with interactive learning, including workshops where you solve real-world business problems and develop in-demand, applied skills and knowledge.
You can also study the BCom as part of a conjoint degree, which means you can take two undergraduate programmes at the same time. You can do a conjoint with: Arts, Design, Engineering (Honours), Global Studies, Health Sciences, Law (including Honours), Music, Property, Science, Sport, Health and Physical Education.
A BCom with a double major is a three-year degree programme. You will be required to complete a minimum of 24 courses (360 points). In your first year, you will complete an integrated set of core courses, experiencing the multi-disciplinary environment that businesses operate in, and one further course depending on the major(s) you are planning to take*. You will also complete the Waipapa Taumata Rau core course.
A double major requires careful planning.
- If you wish to major in Accounting you will need to enrol in ACCTG 102 in your first year.
- If you wish to major in Economics you will need to enrol in ECON 152 in your first year.
- If you wish to major in Finance you will need to enrol in ACCTG 102 in your first year.
Planning your first year of the BCom
In your second year you’ll engage in a Business Consulting core course. In your third year, you’ll choose a capstone core course – select from an industry-based project, a business simulation, or a live business case.
You will also be required to select one General Education course as part of your degree.
*Maximum of two courses from outside the BCom schedule.
