Why study the Bachelors of Commerce/Science?
By combining these two areas of study in a dual degree, students will be given a focused background in commerce, along with scientific theory and practical skills in their chosen major within the Bachelor of Science.
When this program is studied at a standard load of four courses per semester, the final semester will comprise part-time study of only two courses. Students may decide to overload in previous semesters or undertake study in a summer semester to reduce the total duration of the program.
