Commerce at Deakin gives you valuable practical learning experiences including the ability to research and resolve real business and social issues. Professional development opportunities start from day one. You’ll work with the same programs and tools industry professionals use, and build core business skills. Hone your expertise in a range of specialised areas of business and you'll get a taste of your future career.
An undergraduate degree is generally completed between two to four years, depending on the pattern of study and any recognition of prior learning you may have. Associate degrees, bachelor and bachelor with honours are all undergraduate degrees.
A postgraduate qualification can be undertaken by students who have already completed an undergraduate degree or possess significant, demonstrable work experience. Postgraduate courses include graduate certificates, graduate diplomas, masters and PhDs, as well as specialist programs for industry professionals.
Research degrees are research based master’s or PhD programs that focus on a single area of expertise. They provide students the opportunity to carry out highly specialised research under expert supervision.
Non-award courses are generally single units of study that don’t add up to a university qualification. They’re a great way to explore an area of study before committing to a full degree, and can often be used as credit towards a degree course. Short courses and stand-alone study abroad programs also fall under this category.
Depending on the subjects you choose, typical graduate roles may include:
