Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation

The Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Murdoch University blends sound business knowledge with creative thinking and start-up insight. Over four years of full-time study in Perth, students tackle core business areas such as accounting, marketing, finance, and management, while also diving into venture creation, business model development, and approaches to innovation. This gives future graduates the confidence to operate in both established firms and start-up environments.

Students complete a mix of core and elective units, earning credit points as outlined by the university's course structure. The course is offered across regular semesters, allowing for a manageable workload. Many units are project-based, and work-integrated learning gives students a chance to tackle real business problems or develop their own ideas. There can be opportunities for internships or professional placements in Perth’s start-up spaces or partnered organisations, which help build hands-on experience and industry connections.

Coursework is practical and up-to-date, informed by the business climate in Australia and connections to Western Australia's entrepreneurial community. Students hone skills in communication, project management, critical thinking, and teamwork, and develop specialist knowledge in entrepreneurship, innovation, business strategy, and commercialisation. This course suits those interested in starting a business, joining new ventures, or leading innovation in established companies.

International students must show English proficiency, such as an IELTS Academic result of 6.0–6.5 overall or equivalent. Students can typically work 48 hours per fortnight during semester and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream.
