Step into the world of strategic decision-making and economic insight with our Bachelor of Commerce in Economics. This dynamic programme blends a solid foundation in business - covering management, accounting, marketing, and quantitative methods - with the analytical depth of economic reasoning and data literacy.
This programme prepares graduates for entry into the labour market across private, public and non-profit sectors – such as banking, consulting, research, policy, development finance, analytics and general management – or for further study in commerce and economics (e.g. BCom Honours/Economics, postgraduate diplomas in business/management, and later MBA or related postgraduate pathways).
The BCom (Economics) degree is suited to individuals who want to build strong analytical and quantitative skills for application in business, finance, government and policy environments. The programme is ideal for those interested in understanding how markets function, how policy decisions affect economic outcomes and how data can be used to inform evidence-based decision-making. It combines broad commerce training with specialised economic analysis, making it particularly valuable for students who enjoy working with mathematics, data and problem-solving.
