First year

In your first year, you'll be encouraged to take as many of the core courses as possible. These courses include Accounting, Information Systems, Statistics and Marketing. You'll also be introduced to the principles of Management and Microeconomics.

It's a good idea to take the Government, Law, and Business course (FCOM 111) in your first year as it covers referencing and writing skills that are useful in other courses.

It's possible to do two majors in your BCom, but be careful to take courses that meet the requirements of both majors.

First-year courses are normally taught at our Kelburn campus.

Second year

This is the year you start to get down to the detail of your chosen major. You'll delve into the issues and gain skills through research and real-world projects.

Third year

At the end of year three of your Bachelor of Commerce, you'll know your chosen major inside out. Graduate university skilled and ready to embark on a successful career—in New Zealand or beyond.
