Bachelor of Commerce

Programme Overview

The Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) is a highly flexible, world-class degree designed to equip students with a broad understanding of modern business environments. Delivered by the triple-crown accredited University of Auckland Business School, the program combines strong analytical foundations with strategic problem-solving skills. Students explore how economies operate, how businesses scale, and how managers lead organizations in a rapidly shifting, digitally driven global marketplace.

Programme Pathways & Core Formats

The program is structured as a 360-point undergraduate framework typically spanning six semesters of full-time study. It balances broad business core requirements with deep specialization through one or two majors:

1. The Single Major Path: Focuses intensely on one dedicated business discipline alongside a wider variety of open elective papers.
2. The Double Major Path: Maximizes career flexibility by allowing students to complete two full business specializations within the standard 3-year timeline without adding extra points.

What You'll Study

The curriculum is divided into core business, specialized major courses, and general education modules:

• Compulsory Business Core (Stage I): Foundational papers that every BCom student takes to establish core capabilities, covering:
  • Business and Enterprise (BUSINESS 111 & 112)
  • Accounting Information / Economics / Business Statistics
• Specialisation Majors (12 Available Options): Students select at least one major to complete their upper-level (Stage II and III) coursework, including:
  • Accounting, Commercial Law, Economics, Finance, Information Systems, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, International Business, Management, Marketing, or Operations and Supply Chain Management.
• Capstone Component (Stage III): A mandatory final-year project (e.g., BUSINESS 350) that challenges students to integrate their major-specific skills to solve real-world industry case studies.
