About this program

The Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) at the Australian National University provides outstanding commerce graduates with an opportunity for specialist study and advanced research in business and management. This one-year program is designed for students who have completed a relevant undergraduate degree and wish to deepen their knowledge through focused coursework and a substantial research thesis.

The honours structure typically combines advanced units of study totalling a set number of credit points, as determined by the university, along with a major independent research project or thesis under the guidance of an academic supervisor. Students develop strong research, analytical, and communication skills that are highly valued in both industry and academia.

Embedded in Canberra—a major hub for government, business, and policymaking—students benefit from ANU's strong links with industry, public sector organisations, and research institutes. The program is well suited to high-achieving students considering careers in consulting, financial services, public policy, or those planning to progress to higher research degrees. Work rights for international students are set at 48 hours per fortnight during study, and graduates may be eligible to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) under the post-study work stream. Please confirm detailed structure and entry requirements on the official program page.
