Overview
The Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Arts gives students the possibility of combining business management skills with a focus on humanities or creative arts. Students build core capabilities to support business decision-making, including foundations in business law, economics and accounting and have the opportunity to specialise in a wide range of subjects from both business and arts disciplines.
The double degree permits multiple combinations of arts and business majors, for example, coupling a major in accounting with tourism, marketing with psychology, information systems with creative arts or many other combinations.
