Overview

Are you ready for a degree that puts you in control, with the freedom to choose a path that you are most passionate about?

From a suite of majors and minors, you can choose to specialise in one or two selected fields or expand your business knowledge across many. The focus will be on developing both your personal and professional capabilities, making you work-ready and in high demand upon entering the workforce. 

The program curriculum is co-designed with industry, providing students with the opportunity to solve real-world problems, and build up cross-disciplinary knowledge and skills desired within the contemporary business world. Graduates of this program will have an international mindset, digital agility and critical thinking abilities. 

The Bachelor of Business allows you to do more than respond to the future, it allows you to create your own.

Design your own program structure

There are 288 credits (a maximum of 24 courses) in the program. In your first year, you will complete 4 business foundation courses to give you the building blocks needed to succeed in your chosen business career path.

Next, the direction you take is in your hands. You can choose up to two majors or two minors. You can choose on a spectrum from generalist (breadth) to specialist (depth). Majors are the primary focus of your study, whereas minors are secondary areas of study that are typically more specialised.

In the final year, all students will undertake the compulsory Capstone Experience - a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course - engaging with industry partners.
