About this program

Edith Cowan University's Bachelor of Commerce in Perth gives students practical and theoretical skills in accounting, finance, human resource management, marketing, or international business. The course structure lets students focus on one or two majors, or combine a major with electives in units like economics, business law, or supply chain management. Over six semesters, students complete units adding up to the total required credit points for a bachelor's degree under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

Professional experience and industry engagement are central to this course. Most students complete work-integrated learning through industry placements or real-world business projects, which prepares them for the local and global workforce. A capstone unit towards the final year draws together business knowledge, analytical problem-solving, and communication skills. The university has connections with employers across Western Australia, making placements possible with a mix of corporate, small business, government, and not-for-profit organisations.

This degree builds core business skills in areas such as financial analysis, strategic planning, digital communication, teamwork, and ethical decision making. It's ideal for those seeking flexibility to tailor their study to their interests, or for career changers looking for recognised business qualifications. Students who meet the entry requirements must also demonstrate English proficiency as outlined by the university, with several accepted test formats.

Entry requirements

English: International applicants must evidence English proficiency. IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall is the common undergraduate and coursework-postgraduate standard, rising to 7.0–7.5 for teaching, nursing, medicine, law and social work. TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge C1 Advanced and the university’s own English programmes are accepted as equivalents; the Department of Home Affairs sets a separate English threshold for the Student visa itself.

International students: Registered on CRICOS for international students. A Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) for this course supports a Student visa (subclass 500) application; Overseas Student Health Cover is required for the full duration.
