About this program

The Bachelor of Advanced Computing/Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Sydney is a dynamic double degree combining in-depth knowledge of information technology with a solid foundation in business and commerce. Over five years of full-time study, students undertake a comprehensive curriculum that covers advanced computing topics such as algorithms, software design, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. Alongside, they explore areas within commerce including accounting, finance, marketing, and business strategy, helping graduates emerge as versatile professionals equipped for technology-driven commercial environments.

This Australian bachelor degree is structured around semesters, with students completing a prescribed number of units of study and credit points each session. The programme incorporates a mix of core units, electives, and majors, allowing students to tailor their studies to particular interests within both computing and commerce. A structured capstone project in computing provides hands-on experience, while work-integrated learning and internships are available to support professional development and industry engagement.

Graduates gain advanced technical skills in programming, problem-solving, and software development, coupled with analytical, managerial, and interpersonal expertise fostered by their business studies. The dual degree is particularly suited to students interested in leadership roles where technology meets business strategy, as well as those aspiring to entrepreneurship or innovative start-ups.

Industry links are strong in Sydney, a major Australian tech and financial hub. The programme benefits from the university’s connections with leading companies and professional bodies. International students must demonstrate English proficiency and may be eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after completion. While studying, students may also work up to 48 hours per fortnight, providing valuable exposure to local industries. Confirm details on the official programme page.
