Students must complete a 48 UOC within a specified discipline (Commerce major) with at least 18 UOC of Level 3 courses to meet program requirements.

Students must complete a 6 UOC Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course of the below courses within their program to meet the minimum requirement of 150 hours of professional work. Where students complete mandatory WIL in the non-Commerce component of the Double Degree, the 150 hours minimum requirement does not apply to the Commerce component of the program.

Business WIL Course

This course can count as a Business free elective or where applicable, can count as a Commerce major elective.

If a student is completing two commerce majors, the completed WIL course can only be counted towards one of the two majors. No double counting is permitted.

Non-Business WIL Course

This course can count as a Free Elective or General Education course.

Note: Students in Commerce Double Degrees have the option of meeting the mandatory WIL requirement in the non-Commerce component of the Double Degree. However these courses will not contribute towards the 96 UOC minimum Business UOC requirement.

Students must complete their Final Year Synthesis (FYS) course within their final year of their Bachelor of Commerce program. That is, within 48 UOC or less remaining in their BCom program.
