Program Overview

This course is designed to help you become a highly adaptive business professional, with skills and knowledge in a wide range of sectors.

You’ll begin by studying a suite of core units in business. You'll explore value-creation in business, learn to use financial information to make informed and responsible decisions, and develop business intelligence and analytical capabilities to interpret data. This will provide you with a strong base to build on as you progress through the course.

You'll also study a suite of core units in management, gaining a foundational understanding of key business areas such as marketing, finance, information systems, human resources and project management. You'll learn about the key activities, tools, and strategies of each area, and gain an insight into technological advancements and influencing trends.

In your first year, our expert staff will help you design your degree to suit your career goals. You’ll choose two business specialisations that align with your unique interests. You'll then choose between an optional third specialisation from selected areas in business, arts, design or science; or four elective units.

In your final year you'll undertake a capstone experience to gain valuable industry experience. This unit 'caps' off your study, enabling you to put your skills and knowledge into practice and helping provide a smooth transition from study to the workforce.

As a graduate of this course, you’ll be well-prepared for employment in a broad range of sectors in the dynamic business industry. With a diverse skillset that employers value and the ability to pivot to the needs of industry, you can confidently pursue a successful career as a highly adaptable and in-demand business professional.

Specialisation: Tourism and Hospitality Essentials
This specialisation will introduce you to the basic principles of tourism and hospitality. You’ll learn about the challenges and opportunities of the sectors, including sustainability and destination management.

You’ll study four units that provide you with an introduction to tourism and hospitality and a grounding in the knowledge, skills and competencies you’ll need for a career within these sectors.

The skills and knowledge you’ll learn are transferable to other industries including event management, travel, leisure and recreation. Hospitality and events operations also exist in a wide range of public and private sector organisations, including government and education.

The specialisation differs from the Tourism and Hospitality major, which involves more in-depth study and includes industry engagement, an international study tour and internship opportunities. It’s an ideal complement to a marketing or management major.
