The first year and a half of the degree is a combination TAFE and University study while the last half of the degree is University only. Within the Bachelor of Commerce component of the degree, you may choose to major in Human Resource Management, Management, Marketing or Public Relations. You will also undertake a final-year capstone subject that lets you apply everything you've learned up to that point in collaboration with students from other disciplines. Plus, you have the option of applying for an internship to gain valuable experience whilst receiving credit towards your degree. You will develop skills to analyse, design and execute judgement using a wide range of technical, creative, conceptual and managerial competencies. Subjects include bar operations, food and beverage, managing finances, customer service, human resource management and business planning. Work will be undertaken in various hospitality and tourism settings such as restaurants, hotels, catering operations, clubs, nightclubs and cafes. Through a partnership between UOW and Accor Hotels, students enrolled in this course can apply to complete the Business Internship Program and have the opportunity to be fast-tracked to the interview stage of the Accor Hotels Graduate Program. Students will need to complete the internship (COMM391) with an Accor Hotel to be eligible.

This is particularly important for degrees which have a strong basis in Mathematics or Science. You must be able to demonstrate skills in English to satisfy course entry requirements.
