About this program

The Bachelor of Commerce at RMIT University in Melbourne covers the major principles and practices across business, economics, accounting, and management. Students study core business subjects such as finance, marketing, business law, management, and economics during their first year, building a strong understanding of commercial environments. In later years, students choose majors and elective units, tailoring studies to fields like accounting, economics, finance, or management depending on their interests and career goals.

The degree is structured over three years of full-time study, divided into semesters. Students typically undertake 24 units totalling 288 credit points. Many majors include work-integrated learning components, where students complete internships or industry projects with Australian businesses or organisations, applying classroom knowledge in real settings and building professional networks in the Melbourne business community.

Throughout the degree, students gain skills in analysis, communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and ethical decision-making – all valuable for commercial roles. The course is suited to those wishing to work across sectors such as banking, consultancy, government, healthcare administration, and more. International and domestic students may take advantage of RMIT’s industry connections, support for work placements, and opportunities for career mentoring.

International students considering this course should check English proficiency requirements, such as an IELTS Academic score of 6.0 or 6.5 overall, or equivalent qualifications like TOEFL iBT or PTE Academic.

Always confirm unit selection, credit arrangements, and specific entry or English requirements on the official RMIT website.
