Program Overview

The Bachelor of Business gives you both these things, and so much more. Whether you’re an aspiring disruptor or entrepreneur, or you’re more focused on social impact or sustainability, this course prepares you to tackle whatever sparks your interest. You choose your path, and we’ll provide you with rich and relevant learning experiences. 

Delivered in the heart of Melbourne, this degree will have you diving into projects that have strong ties to the real world. Previously, students in our one-of-a-kind social impact subject worked on a combined challenge with Medibank and the Australian Red Cross to examine social connections and the cost of living. You also have the opportunity to undertake an internship in a business aligned with your career goals.

Upon graduation, you’ll possess an invaluable suite of skills — ranging from critical thinking and problem solving to social awareness and interpersonal relations — that will set you up for a successful and rewarding career. 

Major: Social Impact
Many larger organisations are embracing the Global Sustainable Development goals, and by taking on the Social Impact major you are positioning yourself right in the middle of that positive change.

This major does not require knowledge from specific business specialisations, but rather will see you approach social issues from the perspective of different specialisations. This provides a strong overview of those disciplines, how they relate to ethical and responsible business practice, and how these may lead to social impact.

It allows you to see ‘business’ holistically, understanding the impact of all business practices in society, but also to become a social impact specialist within your chosen specific field – with a broad understanding of the impact your organisation makes in the world. It provides many horizontal and vertical career opportunities in business.
