We provide students with a leading undergraduate experience through our two programs: Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Bachelor of Management and Organizational Studies – both with several program streams.
Degree programs in Economics and Finance
OUAC Program Code: EKO
Specialized degree programs in:
• Economics
• Finance
• Financial Economics
In first year economics and finance students receive a broad liberal arts foundation. By third and fourth year, students receive a more specialized curriculum tailored to their area of study; be it economics, finance or financial economics. Students wishing to purse graduate studies complete
an undergraduate thesis mentored by a faculty member, and all students have the option of working towards an industry designation in part through their academic studies. Students can also participate in Western’s internships and study abroad through exchange to enhance their experience.
OUAC Program Code: EKD
Specialized degree programs in:
• Accounting
• Finance & Administration
• Global Commerce
• Organizational & Human Resources
First year BMOS students take a common core of Math, Economics and Business and then select 2.0 additional elective courses based on their areas of interest and potential stream of study. They specialize into one of the four areas beginning in second year. Each of the areas of study is linked to a professional designation or certificate program for
students intent on working in those areas upon graduation.
The BMOS program offers an Industry Internship Program (IIP) for students interested in practical experience prior to graduation. Internships are available across a broad sector of private and public companies and aligned with student program areas. Students spend 4-16 months working in industry between their third and fourth years of their degree.

King’s is a leader in its commitment to internationalization and its encouragement of all students to become intercultural learners.
“Studying in Australia has been one of the most amazing experiences. Being able to live in a foreign country and continue my studies is something I would definitely recommend to my friends. The University of Notre Dame Australia (Fremantle campus) is so similar to King’s in many ways! I really loved being able to go to the beach for a few hours in between classes since it was so close. I got to meet so many amazing people and made friends that will last a lifetime.”
Meet students from around the world. Over 18% of King’s students are international and come from over 30 nations. What better way to get connected globally?
• Get involved with the International Student Peer Guide Program, or the Bridging Orientation Program and volunteer with assisting new international students. If you have been on an exchange, volunteer in the Global Ambassador Program to help promote international study and exchange to other King’s students.
• Each year approximately 100-150 King’s students participate in an international experience.
• King’s University College will grant a $1000 bursary to full-time students participating in an academic exchange program or experiential learning opportunity for 1 semester or less ($500 for part-time students), or $2000 for a full year academic exchange program
The King’s Promise Program is a 4-year co-curricular program; which will guarantee students a meaningful job within 6 months of graduation.
If this is not achieved, the student can return to King’s for one additional year of courses and campus-based support, tuition-free. Alongside your studies you will complete activities to support your career development, enhance pre-employment skills, gain tangible workplace experience, and engage in experiential learning. The King’s Promise Program will empower you to achieve your education, career, and life goals in line with King’s mission as a “Place to be and a Place to Become”
Experience is the bridge between your degree and successful transition to work. Outside of the classroom experience will help you:
• Feel confident about decisions
• Expand your knowledge of occupational alternatives
• Develop a network
• Learn workplace related skills
There are many different ways to build experience from clubs and extra-curricular involvement to practicum-based coursework, internship opportunities, job shadowing, on campus and community volunteering, to work/study abroad programs.
The King’s Job Shadow program offers you an opportunity to experience a day in the life of a professional in a role of interest to you! These one-day placements, occurring in or around Reading Week each term, allow you to gain information and knowledge about the tasks and expectations involved in particular job roles while also making important professional connections in the community and expanding your professional network!
The King’s Co-Curricular Record provides you with recognition of your on-campus activities outside the classroom. It complements and enhances your academic transcript and is an incredible addition to your resume, portfolio or graduate school application.
