Bachelor of Business

The business sector is one of the world's largest employers offering varying roles and careers. Business plays an important role in assisting to evolve a complex global economy by providing solutions to problems in a sustainable and ethical way.

The Bachelor of Business provides you with the knowledge and experience to move into many types of business careers such as international business, finance, public relations, management, and marketing. You will develop a comprehensive knowledge of business and organizations, and the skills to analyze business issues in local, national and international contexts. You will also undertake a final-year capstone subject that lets you apply everything you've learned up to that point in collaboration with students from other disciplines. Plus, you have the option of applying for an internship that provides work-integrated learning.

The Bachelor of Business is a flexible degree offering a broad education across all key aspects of the business environment. In addition to studying the essential core disciplines of accounting, economics, finance, management, and marketing, you can tailor your studies according to your interests by choosing electives from a particular Business discipline, or you can combine Business electives with subjects from other disciplines.
