This combined degree program has an exceptional reputation with employers for producing graduates who are well prepared for the challenges of today’s business world and who possess a wide range of industry-related skills and knowledge.

The combination of commerce, humanities and social sciences offers a stimulating and challenging opportunity, preparing students for managerial and specialist roles in business or the public sector. Because many organisations have international affiliations and business dealings, many candidates for Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Arts degrees combine their studies in commerce with a language offered in the Faculty of Arts. This is an invaluable asset in gaining employment.

To meet the requirements of the combined program, students must undertake at least one Part A major from the Faculty of Arts and two from the Bachelor of Commerce. As part of the Bachelor of Commerce, students also undertake studies in accounting, econometrics and economics.

This combined degree is administered by the Faculty of Economics and Business.
