The Bachelor of Commerce programs are very relevant to the requirements of today's business world, with considerable emphasis

on decision-making, trends in technology and associated work patterns and other aspects of management in the highly competitive business arena. Curtin Sarawak's undergraduate Commerce programs are designed to develop professional expertise in several

areas of specialization and a range of other skills. Graduates of the Bachelor of Commerce with suitable work experience may be considered for admission to graduate courses at Curtin University of Technology.

Course Description
All Commerce students must complete six common core units - Accounting 100, Economics 100, Information Systems 100, Legal Framework 100, Management 100 and Marketing 100 - in order to have a solid foundation of business knowledge. They must also

complete eight units for each major, as well as two optional units. Besides the theoretical concepts, the programs also emphasise the application of knowledge to commerce and industry.

The courses are available on a full-time basis. Students can complete the degree in a minimum of six semesters over three years.

Career Opportunities
The Finance and Marketing double major has been designed for students who are seeking careers either in the marketing or financial services sector or who wish to combine the two. The Accounting and Finance double major allows students to become professional accountants, specialising in corporate finance and institutional finance. The Marketing and Management double major provides graduates with an overall understanding of managerial competencies and the functional area of marketing. And the Marketing and Business Information System double major equips students with the principles and processes of marketing products, services and ideas, recognising the growing importance of the Internet, the World Wide Web and other technologies.

In recent years, graduates with the Curtin Commerce degree have had little difficulty in finding employment. Many are already in senior management positions in South East Asia and Australia.
