About the course

The Bachelor of Commerce has six majors you can choose from in your first or second year. You can even decide to do a double major, combining any two of Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, and Management. Whether your aim is to work for a large financial consultancy, a tech startup or a social enterprise, the Bachelor of Commerce can take you straight into industry, further business and economics specialisation at Melbourne Business School, or a pathway to a range of graduate programs such as Law or Engineering.

　　Economics is the study of social behaviours related to production, distribution and consumption of goods and services through statistical data, modelling and economic theories. From this, Economists seek to understand, assess and explain the mechanisms of markets and economics to increase efficiency and productivity.Economists have varied employment opportunities in public and private sectors. For example, they can look at how economic welfare, financial markets and government impact income and wealth creation, release economic performance indicators such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), or forecast to determine bank interest rate levels.

　　As a social science, the Economics major can be studied in either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Commerce.

　　Economics has a long history at the University of Melbourne, having been taught since 1855 Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
