Commerce

Commerce is an exciting area of learning for our students. As a Commerce student you will be involved in many aspects of business: Entrepreneurship, understanding how the Economy works, finances of a business and how they can make an impact in our world.

Economic activity shapes the daily lives of all New Zealanders. How we earn and spend has a significant effect on our quality of life, as well as the environment in which we live. Commerce looks at how financial decisions are made. This includes the influences on decision-making, and the impacts that these decisions have.

All parts of society need to make choices about how to best meet their needs and wants with finite resources. For a household this could be decisions about personal budgets. For a business it could be about what they produce and how they produce it. For the government, it could be about what services they fund for the population. 

By studying Commerce at Dilworth, you will be equipped and inspired to make a difference in whatever organisation or venture you are part of in the future.

Why study Commerce?

Studying commerce enables students to appreciate the issues that challenge businesses and stakeholders. In a rapidly changing world, it is important that we are able to make informed and rational decisions about business matters.

Commerce contributes to the development of a culture of enterprise in New Zealand and supports our efforts to improve economic and community well-being.
