What the students say...

Kristy Rimpas

“I studied a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Accounting and Business Law. The course was well structured and the content was both challenging and rewarding. I chose to major in Business Law to balance the financial side of the degree. My study at CBS opened many doors and opportunities. Potential employees appreciated my understanding of the legal background behind the Accounting. Furthermore, my Curtin Commerce degree has given me an advantage in employment as I complete further Law studies.”
