Why is this course for me? The BComm at UCD is a challenging course designed for ambitious and achievement- oriented students who wish to make a significant impact in the business world. You’ll learn about the recent themes and trends transforming the business landscape such as globalisation, technological change, and environmental sustainability.


Through case studies, business simulations, and company projects you’ll have the opportunity to apply what you are learning in the classroom. With a wide range of electives, the BComm gives you the flexibility to develop your own personal niche of expertise.


You’ll learn to become an independent and critical thinker and a cogent and compelling communicator; able to work seamlessly in groups; to develop the technical and mathematical skills to analyse and make sense of business data and intelligence.


What will I study? In your first and second year you will study a wide range of business disciplines. This will give you a solid understanding of the foundations of business. In your final year you have the opportunity to focus your module choices on a specific subject area or to continue studying subjects from across the broad range of business disciplines. Throughout your degree, you will choose Horizon Electives.

“The skills and opportunities I have got from my Commerce degree are second to no other business degree in Ireland. I’ve gained the technical knowledge to pursue my chosen career and also the interpersonal skills to go about achieving this. During my degree I had the opportunity to study in Canada for one semester and it was one of my greatest experiences; experiencing a different culture and making friends from all over the world. Lots of my classmates have done internships with some of the biggest and most exciting companies in the world also. Whatever area of business you are interested in, the UCD BComm is a great starting point.”
