Study commerce and you can tailor your degree to open up career opportunities in accounting and finance to marketing, event management, informatics and human resources.
Other specialisations include data analytics, entrepreneurship, IT, Indigenous business studies, international business, informatics, and occupational health, safety and environment.
Boost your credentials Our commerce specialisations come with a range of relevant credentials, such as the prestigious EPAS international accreditation from the European Foundation for Management Development.
