The purpose of the Bachelor of Commerce (International) programme is to develop commercially astute graduates with a global mind-set that will make a significant contribution to business and broader society. Graduates will demonstrate critical awareness of business trends, issues, and developments; be creative problem-solvers and have an analytical approach to decision-making; have a deep-rooted ethical, societal and cross-cultural awareness; show a penchant for entrepreneurship and innovation; demonstrate a capacity to communicate persuasively and professionally in their chosen language; and have a life-long commitment to personal and professional excellence and development.
We aspire to produce graduates that, over the long-term, will assume leadership positions and will have a significant impact on the development of business, economic, and social life, both nationally and internationally.
The Bachelor of Commerce (International) curriculum is designed to develop future leaders through a range of transformative educational experiences and pedagogical innovations that focus on conceptual understanding, technical mastery, and practical wisdom. Students spend an academic year with an international partner university, so are immersed in the language and culture of the host country. Students gain a depth of understanding of living and working in an international environment during their year abroad. They also have the opportunity to participate in a range of other educational experiences, including business internships, and case study competitions.
The programme emphasises a mix of teaching and assessment methods, including lectures and tutorials, laboratories, case studies, essays, consulting reports, debates, presentations, group assignments, and business simulations. Students are exposed to faculty, national and international, with a range of different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.
This degree combines business subjects and a language during the four-year course. Graduates are recognised by employers as having a leading international business degree, with the additional benefit of language skills - providing more opportunities.
