All units taken as part of a major specialisation are limited to units taught by departments of the faculty on the Clayton campus. For details of the units required for a major specialisation, refer to the Bachelor of Commerce course entry in the ‘Outline of undergraduate studies – Clayton’ section of this handbook.

Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Clayton campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics. These other studies can, in some cases, form a second major specialisation in a commerce discipline or field of study.
