About this program

The Bachelor of Commerce at Griffith University is a three-year undergraduate degree that introduces students to areas such as accounting, economics, business law, management, and finance. The degree is structured around semesters, and students complete a set number of core and elective units, each worth a certain number of credit points as per Australian higher education standards. This setup lets you tailor your studies by choosing electives to match your interests in fields like marketing, business analytics or taxation.

Throughout the degree, you’ll develop analytical, problem-solving and communication skills valued by Australian employers. Many units integrate real business scenarios, giving you practical insights into how Australian organisations operate. In your final year, you may have the option to undertake a capstone unit or a supervised project, helping you to bring together what you’ve learned in a discipline-focused task.

For students looking for professional experience, some specialisations offer work-integrated learning placements. These placements can be with local Brisbane businesses, accounting firms, or government bodies, giving you a taste of the Australian workplace. The Bachelor of Commerce suits those interested in numbers, critical thinking, and understanding how businesses function in today’s economy.

Graduates may be eligible for professional recognition from bodies related to accounting and finance in Australia, which is essential for anyone planning to work in regulated roles. International students in this course can generally work up to 48 hours per fortnight during teaching periods, and on completion may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream. It's always best to confirm course and visa requirements via Griffith University's official page.
