Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Science

Take your science career beyond the lab with a combined degree that allows you to pair specialist science knowledge with a solid foundation in business and economics.

Choosing from a wide range of subjects in both streams you’ll gain a unique skill-set ideal for careers in the business and management side of the science industry.

The commerce stream covers areas such as accounting, economics, management, business information systems and marketing. You’ll then combine this with a relevant science stream, which may include environmental science, natural history, chemistry and materials science, animal biology, plant biology, cell biology, human biology or mathematical modelling.

Led by a team of academics who are experts in their field, our science programs offer choice from a broad range of subject areas. Science at Deakin is not just about lab work, you’ll have access to the latest research findings, develop skills in evidence-based decision-making, and gain real-life work experience through our innovative practical programs.

Deakin’s commerce courses are some of the most flexible and broadly based business programs on offer at any Australian university. Our Bachelor of Commerce is the only Australian Bachelor of Commerce that is internationally recognised and EPAS accredited by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). EPAS is a quality benchmark for business education programs globally.

As a graduate you’ll be prepared for business, marketing and management roles in a range of science-related areas. You may also choose to continue with further study. The Bachelor of Commerce is the recommended pathway for professional accounting accreditation.
