The structure of the commerce, economics and finance degrees offered by the Business School and the School of Economics enable students to delay decisions about specialisations until the end of the first year of studies. The first years of each of the degrees included in this guide are very similar, except for the Bachelor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which allows school leavers the flexibility to study electives from diverse subject areas from the beginning of their degree. The areas of study in each degree may be broadly summarised in the following areas.

CommerceCommerce deals with activities within and between businesses and includes disciplines such as accounting, corporate finance, marketing, management, commercial law and electronic commerce. Commerce students gain knowledge that is fundamental to the administration and management of businesses.

EconomicsEconomics examines the social aspects of economies. It studies the interaction of the decision making of households, businesses and the whole of society and includes things such as how we respond to incentives (the things that influence decision-making) and how our conflicting choices are reconciled. Economics contributes to our understanding of policy design and business strategy. Economics provides the ‘big picture’.

FinanceFinance relates to the operation and function of the world’s financial system and its relationship with the broader economy. Areas of study include financial markets, valuation issues, international trade and finance, financial modelling and financial management. Students may decide to specialise and graduate with a degree indicating their specialisation.

Innovation and entrepreneurshipInnovation and entrepreneurship encompasses a multidisciplinary skillset that can be applied to diverse areas. Innovation and entrepreneurship covers entrepreneurial process, history and types, who entrepreneurs are and what they do, how innovation relates to entrepreneurial activity and outcomes, the commercialisation of technology, the role of creativity in enterprise development, how to develop and demonstrate creative thinking, and how to recognise and assess entrepreneurial opportunities.

Business and new venture creation is only one possible career outcome; other opportunities might include policy development, working as an innovation specialist within an organisation, or building on existing skills and knowledge in a specific domain.

Students often commence their university study unsure about their future career path.

* Please note: refers to Bachelor of Economics students that focus on accounting.

Areas of specialisationThe Bachelor of Economics program gives students the flexibility to specialise in an area of economics e.g. a focus on international economics or environmental economics. The structure of the Bachelor of Economics degree enables students to enhance that economics specialisation by taking courses with the same focus but from other disciplines, e.g. politics or environmental studies. Alternatively, students can focus on something different such as philosophy or accounting.

The Bachelor of Economics with a focus on accounting is accredited by the two major Australian professional accounting bodies: CPA Australia and the Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA).

Potential careersThis program provides a great foundation for a wide range of careers. Recent graduates have been employed by trading and merchant banks, stockbrokers, insurance companies, accounting firms, financial planners, infrastructure and utility companies, manufacturers and distributors and a wide range of federal and state government organisations. Other employment opportunities include journalism, teaching, foreign affairs and international consulting.

Completion of an Honours degree opens up more options for specialist positions in economics, including in government and business.

Program structureThe Bachelor of Economics program includes compulsory courses designed to give students a solid understanding of economics, in addition to providing a selection of optional courses in other disciplines. Half of the program is structured around compulsory courses that include economic principles, applied economics and econometrics. The remainder of the program consists of optional or elective courses.

Students can choose from further economics courses such as international economics, international trade, managerial economics and development economics, or they can choose from other disciplines including finance, international studies, management, politics, marketing, geography, history, languages, mathematics, computer science or science. The second option is ideal for students who want the opportunity to pursue one or more areas of interest outside of economics.

Subject to quota restrictions, economics students may take courses offered by the Business School, leading to professional accounting qualifications.

The optional Honours (fourth) year involves the writing of a research report or dissertation together with advanced coursework in macroeconomics, microeconomics and econometrics.

HonoursStudents who obtain good results in the Bachelor of Economics may apply for entry to the Honours program.

Between 2013 and 2015, the University will introduce an Honours pathway focused on further enhancing future professional employment. Completion of an Honours degree opens up more options for specialist positions in economics, including in government and business.

I have been provided with a broad range of academic and cocurricular opportunities, including scholarships and study abroad programs. Without the encouragement and support of university staff these experiences would not have been possible. Alice Frank

SATAC code: 324361






STAT entry: yes


The Bachelor of Teaching degree program prepares students for teaching in middle and senior secondary schools. It is also suitable for students intending to work with adult learners. The program is offered as a double degree only and is designed for students who are beginning tertiary study.

The primary focus in the first three years of the degree is on completing a Major sequence in two different subject areas usually taught at senior secondary level. A Major sequence consists of courses taken over three consecutive years of study. Six semesters of study in a subject area is the general requirement for teaching a subject up to Year 12 level.

The Major subject sequences are taken as part of the Bachelor of Economics program in the subject areas of the student’s choice. In each of these years students also take education courses designed to provide an on-going orientation to educational issues and practice. The first and third year education courses include observation and experience in school contexts. The final year is taken up entirely with education studies, which are organised around two five-week periods of teaching practice in secondary schools.

Students who hold an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Advanced Diploma or Diploma from a recognised institution, Polytechnic in Singapore or equivalent may be eligible to receive advanced standing of equivalent to 1 to 1.5 years of study.Students are advised to contact the Program Director in the Entrepreneurship, Commercialisation and Innovation Centre for guidance on selecting elective courses.

Level I Students undertaking Level I, with no advanced standing, are required to successfully complete 24 units of elective courses offered by the University of Adelaide that are available to them.

Level II Entrepreneurial Strategy and ResourcingForesight and Social ChangeFoundations of EntrepreneurshipNew Venture FinanceNew Venture MarketingOpportunity AssessmentProject Management for New VenturesLegal Aspects of Entrepreneurship

Level III Applied EntrepreneurshipEthics and Cultural Aspects of EntrepreneurshipInnovation and CreativityNew Venture PlanningTechnology CommercialisationProject (6 units)Level III elective (3 units)


Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the degree, the Bachelor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship can compliment degrees from many subject areas. An example might be a Bachelor of Computer Science, whereby a student wishes to add an understanding of innovation, commercialisation and entrepreneurship to formal skills in software development.

Potential careersGraduates may be interested in starting up their own ventures or advising those who do. Business and new venture creation is only one possible career outcome. Other options might be policy development or working on strategy and innovation within an organisation.

Graduates may find employment opportunities in innovative or entrepreneurial organisations, both large and small; in a wide range of leadership and support roles; or managing new ventures within large organisations.

Professional accreditationThe University of Adelaide has been awarded international accreditation for its Business and Innovation and Entrepreneurship programs from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International.

Further studyOpportunities exist for students to continue into postgraduate study in areas including innovation and entrepreneurship, project management and science and technology commercialisation.

Program structureThe equivalent of three years full-time study (72 units) is required for this program (though fast-tracking is also possible). Students who hold an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Advanced Diploma or Diploma from a recognised institution, Polytechnic in Singapore, or equivalent,

may be eligible to receive advanced standing of between 24 and 36 units; equivalent to one to one-and-a-half years of study.

Students undertaking Level I, with no advanced standing, are required to successfully complete 24 units of elective courses offered by the University of Adelaide.

Level II and III courses are delivered in intensive teaching sessions designed to fit around busy work and family schedules. Students typically attend a three-day opening intensive session and a three-day closing intensive session per course. Students complete assessment items that include individual and group reports, presentations, tests and exams. Students will complete a project that provides the opportunity to work on real business enterprises, new or existing, with support and guidance from academics with practical experience.

I was motivated by the practical nature of the degree, which allowed me to balance full time study and elite sporting commitments, whilst also running my own organisations. Along the way, I have been guided by lecturers who have extensive experience in growing successful entrepreneurial ventures. Vanessa Picker Young Australian of the Year (SA) 2013 Bachelor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship


Student study commitmentTo successfully complete courses, students will need to allocate an appropriate time commitment to their study.

In addition to the formal contact—the time required for each course (e.g. lectures, tutorials, practicals)—students will need to allocate non-contact time. Non-contact time will be required for a range of activities, which may include, but are not limited to: assessment tasks, reading, researching, note-taking, revision, writing, consultation with staff, and informal discussion with other students.

While the relative proportion of contact and non-contact time may vary from course to course, as a guide, a full-time student would expect to spend, on average, a total of 48 hours per week on their studies during teaching periods. This equates to 12 hours per week for a 3-unit course. The workload for undergraduate programs is 24 units per year (full-time).
