Bachelor of Biomedical Science / Bachelor of Commerce (Major: Management)

Employers value graduates with a broad education and specific skills in certain areas.

By combining studies in two or more areas students can increase their job prospects, extend their general education and pursue more than one interest.

This can be achieved by a double degree such as our Bachelor Biomedical Science / Bachelor of Commerce (Major:

Management) which brings together two complementary disciplines but only requires one additional year of study.

The combination will appeal to highly motivated students who have a strong interest in both biomedicine and modern commerce.
