About this program

The Bachelor of Commerce at Murdoch University in Perth introduces students to core business concepts and practical skills relevant to today’s organisations. Across three years, students work through units covering accounting, management, economics, marketing and business law. The degree is structured around semesters, with students typically needing to complete specified units of study and accumulate a set number of credit points to graduate.

Students can choose to tailor their degree with majors and electives aligned to their career interests, such as finance, international business, or management. Many units include case studies on local Australian businesses, reflecting the commercial climate of Perth and the broader Australian context. In their final year, students may have the chance to work on a capstone project, analysing and solving real business problems or undertaking work-integrated learning placements with industry partners.

Throughout the course, students build skills in communication, critical thinking, data analysis, and ethical decision-making. These abilities are valued by employers throughout Australia. The programme suits those looking to enter commercial, financial, or managerial roles, as well as anyone considering postgraduate study such as an MBA. International students are required to demonstrate English proficiency; options include IELTS or equivalent tests. It’s smart to confirm all admission, structure, and placement details on the official university page, as these can change.

Studying in Australia gives students access to part-time work rights (up to 48 hours per fortnight during study) and, after graduation, eligibility to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream, which allows graduates to gain practical experience in Australia’s business sector.
