The Bachelor of Business and Commerce is the link between the overseas
offerings of the faculty and the on-shore program taught across the Berwick,
Gippsland and Peninsula campuses. The course is designed to provide maximum
flexibility and to allow depth and breadth in the study of the major business
and commerce discipline areas. Its structure provides the capacity to tailor
applications and focus in different contexts and different environments while
ensuring knowledge of the theory, principles and core elements in the relevant
discipline areas.

The Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) requires contributions to be made by students towards the cost of their higher education studies commenced after 1 January 1989. The amount to be contributed depends on the study load (units) undertaken each semester, and is payable whether or not a pass in each unit is achieved. An additional fee will also apply for amenities and library services.
Credit transfer may be considered for previous tertiary-level study or post-secondary study (including TAFE) in Australia and overseas. Each application is assessed on a case-by-case basis. It is essential that units submitted for credit transfer fit the philosophy and principles of this degree course of study. Units studied more than 10 years ago are regarded as beyond a reasonable time limit and will not be considered for credit/ exemption.
