Bachelor of Business Administration

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

The Bachelor of Business Administration 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 or career aspirations by choosing electives from particular business disciplines, or you can combine business electives with subjects from other disciplines. 

You will also undertake a final-year capstone subject that lets you apply everything you have learned in collaboration with students from other disciplines. Plus, you have the option of applying for an internship to gain valuable experience whilst receiving credit towards your degree. 

After completing the Bachelor of Business Administration, you may enrol in a postgraduate business master’s degree and be eligible for up to four subjects credit, reducing your master’s degree to one year.
