UNSW's BCom offers courses in sustainability and social impact, and empowers you with entrepreneurial skills to make a positive impact through business. Become highly sought after by industry and governmentUNSW Economics graduates are keenly sought after by policymakers at all levels of government, private sector employers, not-for-profits, and international organisations. They work in diverse careers as analysts, researchers, forecasters, journalists, and advisors.Integrated First YearFirst year courses in the BCom are designed to reflect the nature of real-world business, and we call it the Integrated First Year. Traditionally, first year business courses are a series of ‘introduction to’ or ‘fundamentals of’ courses, which are separate introductions to different business disciplines. However we know that in reality, business problems are complex, multi-layered and span several disciplines. Our integrated curriculum reflects this. You'll gain a breadth of experience and nuance of understanding across a range of disciplines, preparing you to tackle real challenges in the workplace. MyBCom portfolioMyBCom portfolio is an award winning interactive platform and assessment tool. You'll use MyBCom throughout your degree to guide your studies, develop a tailored career plan, and collate a portfolio of professional experiences to showcase future employers. Guaranteed work experienceWork experience is built into the BCom, meaning you can undertake internships in Australia or internationally as part of your degree. Economics also offers a range of work integrated learning experiences, like internships, industry consultancy projects, practicums, or collaborating on real social entrepreneurship projects. Many of these experiences are offered through UNSW Business School's industry partners, including Accenture, Suncorp, Grant Thornton, Flight Centre Travel Group, Tata Group, Synpulse, and more.
