The Bachelor of Commerce In the Bachelor of Commerce, students study a set of extensive and integrated foundation units that will orient you to commerce and business, followed by one or two majors to develop depth and specialisation in your chosen discipline. Students also acquire a set of sought-after employability skills – data literacy, business analysis, teamwork, communication, conflict resolution, problem solving, critical thinking and a global mindset, among others – all key competencies that today’s top employers regard extremely highly. The Inter-disciplinary BCom Capstone Inspired by World Economic Forum reports, the Bachelor of Commerce Capstone brings extra-curricular employability skills and extra-curricular employability events into the curriculum. We’ve transformed this final subject of the degree by infusing it with a scalable, dynamic, and contemporary employability skills program. In this Capstone, students develop the transferable employability skills of – communication and cross-functional teamwork, professional practice, data and information skills, critical thinking and problem solving, an ethical, global, and sustainable mindset, and inter-disciplinary thinking, mapped to Macquarie Business School’s Competency Goals. Students are placed in cross-disciplinary teams whose projects advance a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, by synthesising their knowledge. This Capstone program is supported by weekly live industry panel guest lectures. Each semester, more than 50 industry guests from the world of business, commerce, science, and technology – advise students on their projects and inspire students about their employability endeavours, keeping the content engaging, applied, and current. In tutorials, students apply their learning from pre-readings and the industry guest lectures to create authentic assessments. Students showcase e-portfolios via elevator pitches to potential employers.
