About this course

THE NEW BACHELOR OF BUSINESS. A NEW WAY OF THINKING.

The world is evolving, with a clear shift away from outdated business practices. The new Bachelor of Business is an alternative to more traditional business degrees, combining new skills, new values and new opportunities relevant for the new economy. It's a whole new way of thinking for a whole new generation of business professionals.

The modern business practices of adaptivity, creativity, diversity and sustainable business are ingrained in the new degree, so that you graduate with the skills needed for the rewarding career opportunities that the new economy brings.

MAJORS

A major is a focus of study within your degree, in the field of your choice. The new Bachelor of Business offers you a wider choice, now with more than 20 majors. Wider choice also means more flexibility for you to combine two majors from a suite; for example, you can graduate with a Bachelor of Business in Accounting and Management or a Bachelor of Business in International Business and Economics.

All of the majors can be completed online, so you can base your study wherever it suits you best.

You don't have to select your major until your second year, so you use the same degree code on your application no matter what major you would like to complete.
