For more information go to www.canterbury.ac.nz/liaison No prior business and economics knowledge or experience is required or assumed for those beginning a BCom. However, good English language skills and basic statistical/mathematical skills are very important. If you are unsure about what subjects you would like to study as part of your BCom, explore the diagram below and take a look at the career opportunities on the next page. Competence in English expression is essential to the study of all Business and Economics subjects. Your ability to communicate clearly can be improved by studying essay-based subjects like history, classical studies, art history, geography and English at school. Start here Can you clearly express your ideas in English both orally and in writing? Are you studying both NCEA Level 3 mathematics with calculus and statistics and modelling? If you like to observe, investigate, analyse, evaluate and solve problems, and you are often interested in activities related to science and mathematics, then one of the subjects below may be the perfect fi t for you. Can you solve mathematics problems? Mathematics may not be your favourite subject, but with some e ort you can generally complete most problems. Do you enjoy mathematics? Are you studying NCEA Level 3 mathematics with calculus? Are you studying NCEA Level 3 statistics and modelling? All Business and Economics subjects can be started at 100-level without prior study of statistics/mathematics. However, depending on the subject you will need to apply some or a lot of statistical/mathematical techniques. This means that in order to complete a BCom you will need to take at least one university Statistics or Mathematics course. Do you like to work on activities that require numerical ability, attention to detail, accuracy and organisation? Would you like to include foreign language study and an international exchange in your degree? Do you like to work with people, infl uencing, persuading, leading or managing them?

Management Science and Operations Management Every organisation, whether a company or a not-for-profit organisation, has some operations function to it, so the skills learnt in the area of Management Science and Operations Management are widely applicable. Graduates are usually employed by manufacturing companies, management consultancies, transport companies, telecommunications service providers, the energy sector and state-owned enterprises and many rise to senior management levels. Possible jobs include operations analyst/consultant/manager, business process engineer, production manager, supply chain consultant/manager, quality manager and change manager.

Financial accountant or taxation advisor are possible roles. 6 Bachelor of Commerce Degree structure The Bachelor of Commerce is a flexible three-year degree. The degree requires a minimum total of 360 points. • At least 255 points must be from Commerce courses (up to 60 points of Mathematics and/or Statistics at 100 or 200-level may be included in the 255 points). • The remaining 105 points can be from Commerce courses or courses from other degrees. • At least 225 points must be from courses above 100-level, with at least 90 points at 300-level. A minimum of 105 points needs to be completed in your first year to finish your BCom within three years. Most students will take 120 points in their first year. You must also satisfy the requirements for one of the 11 BCom majors outlined on pages 7–12. All UC courses have a point value of 15 or a multiple thereof. Core courses All BCom students must complete five compulsory 100-level courses (a total of 75 points) selected from six 'core' courses. BCom majors include the core courses in their prescibed pathways. The core courses are: • ACCT 102 Accounting and Financial Information • INFO 123 Information Systems and Technology • Either ECON 104 Introduction to Microeconomics or ECON 105 Introduction to Macroeconomics • MGMT 100 Fundamentals of Management • STAT 101 Statistics 1. For more information on these courses see pages 13–14. It is desirable to complete the core courses in your first year of study as they are prerequisites (required courses) for 200 and 300-level Commerce courses. However, it is possible to complete some of these courses in your second and third years depending on the requirements of your BCom major. Double degrees Many students study for a second degree in addition to a BCom. In particular, a BCom and a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) is a highly marketable combination. The BCom also combines well with degrees in Arts, Science, Forestry Science and Engineering. It is normally possible to complete the two degrees in five years (some degree combinations may take longer). Postgraduate study If you are thinking of undertaking a double degree you should also consider postgraduate study. In the time it takes to finish a double degree (five years) you can complete a Master of Commerce. Alternatively, in four years you can complete a Bachelor of Commerce with Honours. Both the BCom(Hons) and MCom are postgraduate qualifications and represent a higher level of achievement than a bachelor’s degree. In an increasingly competitive job marketplace these qualifications help you to distinguish yourself. Students considering a double degree or a postgraduate qualification should seek advice from a School of Business and Economics Student Advisor (see contact details in box). Where can I go for further advice? School of Business and Economics student advisors can assist you in a variety of ways from planning your degree, to helping with special applications regarding your course of study.

Financial accounting is concerned with the collection, recording, summary, analysis and communication of financial information. The primary concern of financial accounting is to provide information for people and groups who are external to an organisation. Management accounting, on the other hand, provides information for managers within an organisation. This information is used to aid them with various strategic and tactical decisions, such as determining the cost of providing products and services, budgeting, and estimating the cost structure of competitors. Many accounting students aspire to become chartered accountants through either the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA) or Certified Practising Accountants (CPA) Australia. For both NZICA and/or CPA (Australia) memberships your BCom must include specific courses. Taxation and Accounting The New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA) and Certified Practising Accountants (CPA) Australia recognise the importance of studies in taxation, with courses containing taxation content included in the 'core' and 'accounting and/or business related' courses. This subject area is necessary for people who wish to become a chartered accountant. In addition, it is an area of specialisation in its own right within the accounting profession.

It is about the choices made by people, individually and collectively, in the production, exchange, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Economics is a behavioural science. As Alfred Marshall put it in 1890 “Economics is a study of mankind in the ordinary business of life; it examines that part of individual and social action which is most closely connected with the attainment and with the use of the material requisites of wellbeing.” Central to economic analysis is the study of how people respond to incentives in a market economy, how these incentives may be modified by government intervention, and whether and how government intervention is warranted. Economics streams At UC emphasis is placed on three core areas of study. Microeconomics Microeconomics examines the behaviour and decisions of individuals, households and firms, and their interactions in everyday life. Much of the analysis involves markets where buyers and sellers come together to exchange. How market outcomes and interventions in those markets aect economic welfare are important topics. Markets which are regulated by government, have only a few participants or are characterised by dierent amounts of information, are also examined. Macroeconomics Macroeconomics examines the performance of an economy as a whole, and provides insights into the reasons for fluctuations and trends in national income, unemployment, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates. It also involves the examination of governments' taxation, expenditure, monetary and exchange rate policies. Econometrics Econometrics brings economic theories to data. It is the study of methods aimed at testing economic theories and providing quantitative information on economic relationships for policy analyses and decisions. Courses provide an account of econometric methods and illustrations of these methods, with applications to real data sets in laboratory classes that introduce the latest developments in computing and web technology. Finance Finance is a relatively new and rapidly growing discipline that examines the acquisition and allocation of financial resources. Where financial accounting measures past performance, Finance is forward-focused. It is largely about future planning for firms or investors. Finance consists of three interrelated subject areas which are concerned with the assessment of the trade-o between risk and reward. Corporate Finance Corporate Finance studies how firms raise and eciently utilise funds obtained from lenders and shareholders. Financial Markets and Institutions Financial Markets and Institutions explores how the financial system facilitates the transfer of funds from savers and lenders to borrowers. Investment Analysis Investment Analysis studies how investors choose securities and asset classes for their investment portfolios.

Human Resource Management begins with the assumption that people are the central resource in any business. A second assumption is that organisational survival depends on the extent to which people's skills and abilities are eectively used. Human Resource Management is thus concerned with the issues of creating and sustaining cultures of learning and performance in organisations. Human Resource Management includes topics such as such as leadership, organisational behaviour, managing change, human resource management and employment relations, communication and team dynamics, and career management.
