You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.206.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

===Bachelor of Commerce===
The [[Bachelor's degree|Bachelor]] of Commerce degree<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.varsitycollege.co.za/programmes/full-time/bachelor-of-commerce-bcom|title=Bachelor Of Commerce (Bcom) - Varsity College|website=www.varsitycollege.co.za|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170831131853/https://www.varsitycollege.co.za/programmes/full-time/bachelor-of-commerce-bcom|archive-date=2017-08-31))</ref> is designed to provide students with a wide range of managerial skills, while building competence in a particular area of business;
<ref>[https://www.athabascau.ca/business/programs/index.html?/undergraduate/all/all Available BCom degrees], [[Athabasca University]]</ref> see aside listing. For a comparison with other business degrees, see ((sectionlink|Business education#Undergraduate education)).

Most universities, therefore, plan the degree such that in addition to their [[academic major|major]], students are exposed to general business principles, taking courses in accounting, finance, economics, business management, human resources and marketing.  Programs often require foundational courses in [[business statistics]] and [[Business mathematics#University level|mathematics]], and information systems. 

Depending on the institution, a formal [[academic major]] may or may not be established. Regardless, a Bachelor of Commerce degree<ref>((Cite web|title=B Com Course Details In Hindi ((!)) बीकॉम कैसे करें ((!)) Student Guide Portal|date=26 November 2021 |url=https://studentguideportal.com/b-com-course-details-hindi/|access-date=2021-12-07|language=en-US))</ref> requires students to take the majority of their courses in business-related subjects, including the aside, among others.

===Bachelor of Commerce (Honours)===
The [[Honours degree|Honours]] Bachelor of Commerce (HonsBCom or BComm (Hons) or HBCom) is further advanced. 
The degree has a specialization aspect, analogous to the [[Bachelor of Business Administration |BBA]], developing the student's business skills and/or providing in-depth knowledge of the field.

It requires additional academic courses to be completed, and usually with higher academic performance standards, and may also require a researched [[thesis]] component. 
It often serves as an abridgement (or entry requirement) between the undergraduate program and postgraduate programs, including the [[Master of Commerce]] (M.Com. or M.Comm.) and the [[Master of Business Administration]] (MBA) degrees.

It may consist of a four-year program<ref>((cite web|url=https://ucanwest.ca/undergraduate-programs/bachelor-of-commerce|title=Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Bcom)- University Canada West|website=ucanwest.ca|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160807044341/https://ucanwest.ca/undergraduate-programs/bachelor-of-commerce|archive-date=2016-08-07))</ref><ref>((cite web|last=The University of Ontario Institute of Technology|date=|title=Commerce - Bachelor of Commerce (Honours)|url=http://www.uoit.ca/ac-calendar/0506/EN/main/programs/103887/bcom_hons_92.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223230316/http://www.uoit.ca/ac-calendar/0506/EN/main/programs/103887/bcom_hons_92.html|archive-date=2014-02-23|access-date=2014-02-21|website=www.uoit.ca))</ref> or of a one-year program taken subsequent to a three-year [[Bachelor's degree]];<ref>((cite web |url=http://sydney.edu.au/courses/Bachelor-of-Commerce-Honours |title=sydney.edu.au |access-date=2014-02-21 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226105318/http://sydney.edu.au/courses/Bachelor-of-Commerce-Honours |archive-date=2014-02-26 ))</ref> 
the one-year program is typically focused exclusively on a single subject-area.<ref>((cite web|url=http://bcom.unimelb.edu.au/about/honours|title=BCom Students - Faculty of Business and Economics|website=bcom.unimelb.edu.au|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120316005629/http://www.bcom.unimelb.edu.au/about/honours/|archive-date=2012-03-16))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.unisa.ac.za/qualifications/|title=Qualifications|website=www.unisa.ac.za|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140216065503/http://www.unisa.ac.za/qualifications/|archive-date=2014-02-16))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=http://www.wits.ac.za/academic/clm/sebs/newsebswebsite/postgraduateprogrammes/14711/honours_degree.html |title=wits.ac.za |access-date=2015-11-26 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151126230943/http://www.wits.ac.za/academic/clm/sebs/newsebswebsite/postgraduateprogrammes/14711/honours_degree.html |archive-date=2015-11-26 ))</ref>

===Duration===
The [[curriculum]] generally lasts three years in [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], [[India]] (''Some universities in India like [[Delhi University]] offers four year course under [[National Education Policy 2020|NEP 2020]] ''),<ref>((Cite web|title=B.Com - Bachelors of Degree – Commerce Stream Course|url=http://www.makkarcollege.com/b-com.html|access-date=2021-01-19|website=www.makkarcollege.com))</ref> [[Malta]], [[South Africa]], some parts of [[Canada]], and [[Hong Kong]]. The curriculum requires four years of study in the [[Republic of Ireland]], the majority of [[Canada]], [[Egypt]], [[Ghana]], the [[Philippines]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Nepal]].

In [[South Africa]], [[New Zealand]], [[Australia]], [[Pakistan]] and some universities in [[India]], the BCom (Hons) degree is considered an additional [[postgraduate]] qualification, whereas in [[Malta]], an additional year of study is not considered a postgraduate qualification.

In [[Pakistan]], BCom is generally a 2-year duration degree, whereas BS Commerce, formerly known as BCom (Hons) in the country, is a 4-year duration degree.

==History==
((see also|Birmingham Business School (University of Birmingham)#History and background))
((Unreferenced section|date=April 2010))
The Bachelor of Commerce degree was first offered at the [[University of Birmingham]]. The [[Birmingham Business School (University of Birmingham)|University's School of Commerce]] was founded by [[William Ashley (economic historian)|William Ashley]], an Englishman from [[Oxford University]], who was the first professor of Political Economy and Constitutional History in the Faculty of Arts at the [[University of Toronto]]. Ashley left Toronto in 1892, spent a few years at [[Harvard University]], and then went back to England to the new University of Birmingham where he founded the School of Commerce. Ashley began the programme which was the forerunner of many other BCom degree programmes throughout the [[British Empire]].

Eighteenth-century economists had divided the English economy into three sectors: agriculture, manufacturing, and commerce. Commerce included the transport, marketing and financing of goods. The Birmingham programme in commerce included economic geography, economic history, general economics, modern languages, and accountancy.
