Overview

As the Internet establishes itself as the way of doing business, a tertiary qualification in e-Commerce will give you a relevant, contemporary place in today's workforce. The e-Commerce Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) major will impart the definitive understanding of what e-business is, how it works, why it works, and where it's going.

At Victoria, you will study aspects of the future of business, such as the impact of e-commerce on traditional management systems, business-to-business and business-to-consumer transaction relationships, electronic money and online payment systems, and the legal implications of the newest business methods in the world.

Whether you focus solely on e-Commerce or combine it with Computer Science or other commerce subjects such as Marketing or Management, you are ensuring you are at the cutting edge of a worldwide business trend.
