Introduction

The double degree of Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Business Systems requires a minimum of four years full-time study. Entry to this combination is based on the entry requirements for the Bachelor of Commerce degree. Whilst there is a degree of flexibility in the course structure, students must normally complete the six compulsory first-year commerce subjects and the five compulsory first-year business systems subjects in the first two years of the course.
Graduates are highly sought after by prospective employers. With the rapidly increasing computerisation of the business world those who pursue careers in professional fields such as accounting or finance can benefit significantly from detailed knowledge of computing. Management consulting and business statistics are other career paths that benefit substantially from training in computing. Alternatively, those who wish to pursue computing as their main career path will have a definite advantage if they fully understand the business applications and environment. This will not only enhance their computing careers but also increase their prospects of achieving management positions or successfully operating their own companies in the computing field.
