Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Global Studies

This double degree course gives you the opportunity to explore global cultures, learn the intricacies of global economies, develop your leadership skills and combine your studies with overseas travel.

Studying both commerce and global studies will enable you to explore from a multidisciplinary perspective how economic, political, social and technological decisions are made across the world.

You will learn about the challenges facing all cultures and communities, such as peace and conflict; the rich-poor gap; and crime and justice, and be able to combine these with an understanding of the commercial realities all countries face.
