Bachelor Programme
Commerce
Deakin's Bachelor of Commerce has been redesigned for 2027. It builds a base in accounting, economics, finance and analytics before students specialise through majors, minors and electives. Majors include accounting, digital transformation, economics, finance, financial planning and marketing insights. Students learn to interpret evidence, model financial and economic outcomes and advise organisations, and they complete at least 80 hours of work-integrated learning through internships or consulting projects. Deakin Business School holds AACSB and EQUIS accreditation.

Application Deadline
International intakes for this course: Trimester 1 (March 2027), Trimester 2 (July 2027) or Trimester 3 (November). Deakin does not publish one closing date. International application deadlines depend on the intake and your country so that there is time for the visa and enrolment, and Deakin says applications for 2027 Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 are open. Apply directly through StudyLink Connect or a Deakin authorised agent (students from some countries, including India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and African countries, must apply through an agent). Students completing an Australian Year 12, in Australia or overseas, must apply through VTAC. Decisions usually take two to three weeks once all documents are in
Tuition Information
International: estimated A$46,800 for the first year of full-time study in 2027 (8 credit points), as shown on Deakin's 2027 international course page. Deakin calls this a guide only: your actual fees depend on the units you take. Deakin automatically considers international applicants for merit scholarships of 20%, 25%, 50% or 100% off tuition. Overseas Student Health Cover (required for the student visa), living costs and course equipment are extra
Admission Requirements
- Deakin course code M380; CRICOS 001838A. Academic minimum for recent school leavers: an unadjusted ATAR of at least 50, or the overseas equivalent. Deakin says this is a minimum: meeting it does not guarantee a place, and your full academic history is considered
- Year 12 prerequisites (VCE Units 3 and 4): a study score of at least 25 in English EAL or 20 in any other English
- English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 6.0, or an equivalent such as recent study in English. If you meet the academic entry requirements but not the English one, you can do a DUELI English pathway program, and Deakin College offers a guaranteed pathway for students who miss the academic requirement
