Bachelor in Managing People & Organizations (BComm)

Managing people and organisations examines how businesses shape workforces, navigate cultural differences, and drive change. It asks how leaders influence behaviour, resolve conflict, and align strategy with human capital. This programme situates those questions within a commerce degree, offering insight into organisational design, labour relations, ethics and international management.

Students spend each week attending lectures and tutorials, analysing case studies and engaging in role-plays that translate theory into practice. Three mandatory paid co-op work terms provide real-world experience in settings such as sales, human resources, government or non-profit organisations, allowing students to develop professional skills and professional networks while earning a salary.
