The Bachelor of Commerce and Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Monash University combines the study of commerce with a comprehensive understanding of the world's broader challenges. This innovative double degree initiates students into an array of disciplines fundamental to understanding the commercial and political landscapes both locally and globally.
In the commerce component, students learn the theories, principles, and practices of modern businesses, and develop analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. The course offers specializations like actuarial studies, economics, behavioural commerce, and finance.
The Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE) component avails students to analyze issues from multiple perspectives. It covers theories, concepts, and techniques in three interrelated disciplines: politics and international relations for understanding power imbalances; philosophy focusing on logic, ethics, and metaphysics; and economics which deals with market dynamics and allocating resources.
Graduates from this program may potentially explore careers in government, research organizations, financial institutions, non-government organizations, and multinational corporations.
