The degree has been redesigned to include economics and finance as majors alongside accounting. The Bachelor of Commerce will equip you with technical skills and a broad understanding of the modern day business environment. These skills are valued by all employers and it is no coincidence that 84% of commerce graduates from the University of Newcastle find employment within four months of completing their studies.

Julia Gillard MP, and University of Sydney Vice-Chancellor Dr Michael Spence. http://www.usyd.edu.au/news/84.html?newsstoryid=3492  Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) In 2009, the Universities Admissions Index (UAI) for NSW and ACT Year 12 students is changing to the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). Students should not be worried about any of the changes as they will have no impact on their current studies or choice of university courses for 2010. With the new name there will be some minor changes that students, parents and teachers need to know about. The number given to the maximum rank in NSW and the ACT will now be an ATAR of 99.95, as opposed to a UAI of 100. This means NSW and ACT students will now be in line with their interstate peers, where the top rank is 99.95. Achieving an ATAR of 99.95 is the same as achieving a UAI of 100 – a student receiving 99.95 is in the top ranked group of students. The ATAR will indicate a student’s position in relation to the Year 7 students they began high school with. These changes have been introduced to achieve national consistency in the name and reporting of selection ranks. All states (except Queensland) will be introducing the name ATAR for their selection ranks over the next two years. The rules for the ATAR are exactly the same as for the UAI. The scaling process will be the same, the rank order of students will be the same, and the same applicants will be selected for the same courses. Any small change in an ATAR compared to a UAI will see an equivalent change in the course cut-off. http://www.uac.edu.au/atar/index.shtml The Industry Placement Scholarships provide $10,000 to enable a short-term industry placement to further successful applicants' skills or knowledge of workplaces, industry sectors and/or occupations. The Study Scholarships provide $5000 for successful applicants to undertake postgraduate study in the career education field in 2010. Both types of scholarships are available to career advisers/practitioners at Australian schools, TAFEs and universities. Applications for the 2010 DEEWR Scholarships for Career Advisers close 24 July 2009.
