B2023 Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Science

Double degree courses include the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced.

Commerce

B2001 Bachelor of Commerce is a comprehensive course, structured in four parts. In this double degree course you complete:

Part A. Core studies

These studies will provide you with a broad foundation for your study of commerce and expose you to several commerce disciplines. This will contribute breadth to your knowledge of commerce and address the graduate course outcomes. It will also give you the opportunity to learn more about each discipline before finalising your choice of major.

Part B. Major studies

Your major studies will provide you with a focused program of study that will develop your expertise in one discipline area. You will develop, apply and communicate an advanced level of understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks that constitute the knowledge base of your major area of study.

Part C. Capstone studies

This is designed to consolidate the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the study of your course.

Science

S2000 Bachelor of Science is a comprehensive course and it will provide you with a broad, general science education, as well as specialist training in one or more science disciplines. In this double degree you complete:

Part A. Major studies

This part offers a coherent and in-depth program of study that allows you to develop expertise within one or more science disciplines. It supports both depth and breadth in your scientific education, enabling you to engage deeply with at least one chosen discipline while also gaining exposure to other areas of science. Through this flexible structure, you will explore different fields before refining your focus and build a strong disciplinary identity. You will develop advanced understanding of the core concepts and theoretical frameworks that underpin your discipline and learn to apply and communicate this knowledge effectively in scientific contexts.

Part B. Specified studies

This includes core requirements in mathematics, statistics or coding, ensuring you develop the quantitative foundations essential for scientific study, alongside a communication unit that supports the development of effective scientific communication skills. Together, these elements help build key capabilities that are highly valued across the workforce.

Course progression map

The course progression map provides guidance on unit enrolment for each semester of study.

You must complete 192 credit points, of which 96 credit points are from the Bachelor of Commerce (including all the requirements in Parts A, B and C for the single degree) and 96 credit points from the Bachelor of Science (including all the requirements in Parts A and B for the single degree).

In this double degree, you will complete one major from Bachelor of Commerce (B2001) and one major from Bachelor of Science (S2000). Where you have space in your degree you may complete an additional major. Some majors, minors and specialisations include the same units. Where this occurs, up to 12 credit points may be shared between:

• two majors; or

• a major and a minor; or

• a specialisation and a major or minor.

Note: Units can only count toward one minor. They cannot be shared across multiple minors. 

Units are 6 credit points unless otherwise specified.

Commerce component (96 credit points)

You must complete 96 credit points, including all of the requirements in Part A, Part B and Part C, for the Bachelor of Commerce.

Note: If you are completing the Accounting major as part of this double degree, ECX2953 is required for professional accreditation. You can complete ECX2953 in Part A instead of ECC1000, and you will not be required to complete ECC1100.

Science component (96 credit points)

You must complete 96 credit points, including all of the requirements in Parts A and B, for the Bachelor of Science.

In choosing the 96 credit points, you must ensure that you complete six science listed units (36 credit points) at level 1, and ten science listed units (60 credit points) at levels 2 and 3 with a minimum of four (24 credit points) at level 3. You must complete the Mathematics and statistics unit requirement within the first 72 credit points of this double degree course.

Completion of ETC1000/ETX1100, in the Bachelor of Commerce component, will also meet the mathematics and statistics requirement of the Bachelor of Science, so you must complete an additional science unit as a replacement unit for ETC1000/ETX1100 within the Bachelor of Science component.

The psychology extended major is not available in this double degree.
