From financial markets to the latest management techniques and the fast changing world of commerce, a Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) at UC equips you with skills to succeed in a business environment.

Taxation is all about interpreting and applying legislation. People need taxation in order to manage wealth, to provide for expenditure on public services, as well as serve as a tool to influence behavior.
Taxation is a core area within the corner fields of accounting and law, drawing together ideas from these disciplines, with those from economics. Currently, knowledge and theories in other disciplines, such as psychology and sociology, have been used to assist with a greater understanding of the impact of taxation on society.
Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand know the importance of studies in taxation, with courses containing taxation context included in their ‘core’ and ‘accounting and/or business related’ academic needs. Studying taxation will help you with the skills and knowledge to become a specialist within the accounting profession, a commercial professional or a chartered accountant.
