Commerce is a combined subject of Economics, Business Studies and Accounting aimed at those students wishing to pursue or specialise in the range of commerce subjects. It gives a broad overview of economic practice and business.
The study of this course helps students, through the planning and establishment of a small business, to be innovative and curious with wide exposure to the local community and business. Through economic principles of scarcity and accounting basics, a business plan will be created to help create and operate a small business.
You will explore tools and concepts that assist organisations in making decisions around producing, promoting and pricing a product or service, through hands-on, real-world scenarios.

Part of the course involves developing an idea for your own business enterprise and planning and making decisions using the studied theories and tools to establish your business while examining its impacts on the local community.
