Overview

To forge a business career you need creative and agile thinking. Our Bachelor of Business is taught in a dynamic environment driven by fresh ideas and a global outlook.

Work placements are a feature – you can complete internships either in Australia or abroad in your field of interest, building your professional networks as you earn credit towards your degree.

You'll learn foundational business principles in law, accounting, economics, management and statistics. The degree includes a major in accounting, international business or marketing plus a choice of elective units or a second major. Please refer to ‘Major Areas of Study’ below for professional accreditation requirements.

Our graduates gain the professional, critical thinking and communication skills to run their own businesses or pursue careers in marketing, product management, investment, finance and more.
