In this double degree you will learn to apply your thinking in a commercial capacity and develop the skills required to solve complex problems, while developing a depth of expertise in finance. This gives you a unique skill set. For example, finance provides foundational understanding of economics and actuarial studies, but combined with majors in economics or actuarial studies you will have substantive knowledge across all three. Your specialist studies will prepare you for a career in finance while your commerce major(s) will give you additional skills to pursue expert roles in that industry, or give you the skills to work across industries.
Structure
You must complete 192 credit points, of which 96 credit points are from the Bachelor of Commerce (including all the requirements in Parts A, B and C for the single degree) and 96 credit points are from the Bachelor of Finance (including all the requirements in Parts A, B and C for the single degree). In this double degree, you will complete one major within the Bachelor of Commerce (B2001). Where you have space in your degree you may complete an additional major. Some majors, minors and specialisations include the same units. Where this occurs, up to 12 credit points may be shared between: - two majors; or - a major and a minor; or - a specialisation and a major or minor. Note: Units can only count toward one minor. They cannot be shared across multiple minors. Specialist degree overlap: Some units in your specialist degree may overlap with your major. Where this occurs, up to 12 credit points from the Bachelor of Finance may also count towards your major in the Bachelor of Commerce component of your double degree. Core units overlap: In a double degree, some core units may appear in both courses. Where the same core units are required in both components of the double degree, you must complete other units in their place. You may replace up to six overlapping units. These units may be chosen from: - the Faculty of Business and Economics or from across the University (provided you have met the relevant prerequisites and there are no enrolment restrictions) - a 12 or 24 credit point project, international experience or internship; - Flagship Rich Educational Experiences (FREE); - a minor in another discipline.
