About this program

The Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) at Curtin University is a one-year advanced degree that builds on the knowledge gained during a standard Bachelor of Commerce. Honours students choose a specialisation within business, such as accounting, finance, management, marketing, or economics, and combine advanced coursework with a significant independent research project. This project is supervised by a faculty mentor and allows you to investigate a specific business issue using research methods relevant to your field.

Australian honours degrees include both taught units and a thesis or capstone project. At Curtin, your honours year will be made up of set units of study which carry credit points toward graduation. You'll develop analytical and research skills essential for higher-level roles in business or for progressing on to postgraduate research, such as a Master's by Research or Doctorate.

This course is a strong option for students who enjoyed their undergraduate units and want to deepen their understanding of business theory and practice. It's particularly suited to those looking at careers in business analysis, consulting, academic research or those considering further postgraduate study. The focus on research prepares you to tackle real business problems, and you’ll often look at issues relevant to Australian firms and industries.

Studying in Perth gives you access to Curtin’s links with Western Australia’s business community, including internships and industry research projects. While enrolled, international students can generally work up to 48 hours per fortnight in Australia. After graduation, you may be eligible for a post-study work visa (subclass 485), depending on the specific eligibility requirements and your future plans. Always check the latest details on the official Curtin or CRICOS websites.
