Bachelor of Commerce (Actuarial Studies)

Commerce isn’t just part of our world – it’s essential to how economies and society functions on a global scale. The commercial landscape influences everything from business decision-making to policy development. And it’s the curious, analytical thinking of brilliant business minds who lead that change in positive and progressive ways.

Commerce is an integral part of society. The Bachelor of Commerce explores how our desire to trade what we have for what we want has shaped how people and nations have interacted for millennia, and how global trade and digital disruption are fundamentally changing commerce in society.
