Key features

Integrated First Year 
The BCom’s first-year courses 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.
