This double degree course combines the deep focus of the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics. The Bachelor of Commerce is designed to provide you with the analytical, conceptual and quantitative skills for a wide range of careers in decision making, leadership and management, policy development, and problem solving in the professions, in addition to the corporate and public sectors. Graduates of this course are highly valued for their training in quantitative skills and techniques which are well suited for employment in both Australia and overseas. The course begins with an introduction to core commerce discipline principles, and then offers the choice to study a major in different commerce disciplines, as well as the opportunity to study overseas or undertake an internship. The Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics (BPPE) is an innovative degree that equips graduates with the intellectual and practical skills necessary to comprehend and navigate the changing world in the 21st century. Graduates will finish their BPPE having mastered the main ideas shaping our understanding of the social world. They will move beyond existing frameworks by studying at the creative intersections between politics, philosophy and economics. This interdisciplinary grounding will culminate in practical, skills-based applications of the conceptual tools provided by the BPPE to produce graduates ready for the challenges and possibilities of the century ahead.
Structure
You must complete 192 credit points, of which 96 credit points 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 Politics, Philosophy and Economics (including all the requirements in Parts A, B and C for the single degree). In this double degree, you will complete your Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics (A2010) specialisation and one major in 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. Core unit 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. In this double degree, ECC1000 is a core unit in both single degrees. In the Commerce component, you must replace ECC1000 with a 6 credit point Economics elective at any level.
You must complete 96 credit points, including all of the requirements in Part A, Part B and Part C, for the Bachelor of Commerce. Notes: If you are completing the Accounting major as part of this double degree, you must meet the course requirements that apply to the single Commerce degree to ensure you meet the requirements for professional accounting accreditation. To meet these requirements, you can complete ECX2953 in Part A in place of ECC1000. If you complete ECX2953, you will not be required to complete ECC1100. You are not permitted to take the Economics major or minor under the Bachelor of Commerce of this double degree.
You must complete 96 credit points from Part A, Part B and Part C as described in the Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics.
