Bachelor of Commerce

With New Zealand's leading Bachelor of Commerce programme you will learn from the country's best teachers and mentors to 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. From 2021, we are making some exciting changes to our BCom: real-world case studies, applied skills and innovative workshops that mix disciplines will be an ever-greater focus, right from the start of your first year.

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 a set of core Stage 1 courses and further courses depending on the major(s) you are planning to take.

A double major requires careful planning.

You will also be required to select two General Education papers - this is a distinctive feature of our University's degree designed to broaden your education.

• 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 and MATHS 108 (or 150 or 153) in your first year.*

Students starting in 2021*

Students enrolling in the BCom for the first time from 2021 will complete a cross-disciplinary capstone course. The capstone gives you an opportunity to apply your skills/knowledge in a practical context, which you can share with future employers.

*The programme structure for 2021 is subject to regulatory approval. **Maximum of two courses from outside the BCom schedule.
