"I chose a commerce degree because I believe it will give me a broad range of employment opportunities. It develops your business sense and provides students with a variety of important skills in different areas. I have always been interested in pursuing a business oriented degree and I know I have made the right choice. Through the Bachelor of Commerce I not only study core subjects such as economics, accounting and statistics, but I also delve into elective subjects such as commercial law and marketing. With commerce, you choose your direction by selecting your majors so if you're not interested in subjects like accounting and economics then, after your first year, you don't have to choose them! Each subject provides a chance to learn both in a lecture environment as well in much smaller tutorial groups. I love studying at the University of Sydney and am really looking forward to continuing my commerce degree next year."

"The best feature of the Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies) is the broad and flexible structure of the degree. While study is primarily within the University of Sydney Business School, some study is completed under the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Science which provides me with a wider outlook on current topics as well as with an intellectual challenge. This cross faculty study also develops critical thinking and sophisticated communication skills, all while broadening my interests and career prospects. With the Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies) I am given the flexibility to ensure my degree is as unique as my aspirations."

"As a prospective student, I was attracted to the University initially due to its capacity to foster my keen commitment to my studies. I believe my degree (Commerce/Law) offers immense employment opportunities not only due to its practicality, but also as a product of the excellent reputation of the University in industry. However in retrospect, I was attracted to Sydney for much more than academia. The vibrancy of its social life, the vast array of extra-curricular opportunities and even the assistance in the transition from high school to tertiary study through mentoring programs were also extremely persuasive factors."

"A Commerce degree from the University of Sydney really sets the foundations for excellence and achievement in whatever I choose to pursue after graduation. The degree gives me a solid grounding in business so I can understand the big picture - the context of the business world and the economy. Importantly, there are many areas of specialisation that I can choose from, such as accounting, finance and marketing. A Commerce degree from Sydney will equip me with the knowledge, skills and ability to enter the workforce with confidence and stand out from the rest."

"The University of Sydney has such a diverse and expertly-taught range of degree and subject options. The fact that I am undertaking units of study in the disciplines of Archaeology, Psychology, Marketing and Commercial Law in the one degree is evidence of this. Only at Sydney can I go from handling genuine artefacts from the ancient world one minute to discussing the ramifications of the economic downturn the next!"

"I enjoy getting involved and immersing myself in the culture of a new situation. I was in awe of the sheer number of things to do at Sydney! I simply did not know where to begin."

"The Business School offers a large number of careers seminars and events and I know that endless possibilities await me. I aim to focus on international business, allowing me to travel and work around the world."

"The Business School provides many support programs which have assisted me in settling into university. There's also the Lucy Mentoring program that specifically assists female students to enhance their employment and leadership potential in the corporate and public sectors."

"The Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies) at Sydney allows me to pursue my love of languages. I want to embark on an international career and the Business School has many opportunities to expose me to international business and experiences."

"The Business School provides numerous workshops and support services. The networking and social events have allowed me to form many friendships which has made the transition to uni even easier."

"In the competitive job market, even the smallest margin can set you apart. I have chosen to pursue my Commerce degree from the University of Sydney as it will put me in the best possible position to get my dream job."

"I have a real interest in economic and financial modelling. With my degree I hope to work for an international organisation like the UN or the World Bank. It's an ambitious goal but I know that the breadth of the Commerce (Liberal Studies) degree will allow me to develop the business and cross cultural skills that these employers will look for."

"My favourite subjects at school were Economics and Business Studies, so I chose to do a Commerce degree. The University of Sydney has a reputation for academic excellence, and given the professional accreditations the Business School holds I knew that not only would my degree be relevant, it would also make me career ready."

"A Commerce degree from Sydney will equip me with the knowledge, skills and ability to enter the workforce with confidence and stand out from the rest.

"The flexibility of the Commerce degree at the University of Sydney Business School allows me to have a wider range of choice when choosing my subjects."

"The lecturers and tutors really encourage you to have discussions with them, and they are very generous with their time. I think that is probably what has impressed me the most about the Business School."

"The Dean's Undergraduate Scholarship from the Business School has been invaluable. Learning about business and having that financial support has allowed me to grow my fashion blog business. When I applied for the scholarship I was able to show my real world experience. It's not often that people want to know about more than just your academic achievements, but the Business School does."
