Description

This exciting double degree gives students the opportunity to explore global culture, learn the intricacies of global economies and combine their studies with overseas travel.

The commerce component of this double degree provides students with a thorough understanding of the economy and business, beyond the daily management of an organisation. Students learn how a business operates, as well as explore how all the economic, political, social, cultural and technological decisions that go along with businesses can positively and negatively impact on our society, or even the world. Key principles of commerce are addressed and students choose a major from a range of disciplines including management, accounting, econometrics, finance, sustainability, marketing or actuarial studies.

In the global studies component students learn about the global challenges facing cultures and communities throughout the world, such as peace and conflict, the rich-poor gap, and crime and justice. Core units focus on leadership development, and students undertake a broad range of multidisciplinary electives, an overseas study component, and have the choice of specialising in one of international studies, international relations or global cultural literacies.
