Bachelor (Honours)
To be awarded a Bachelor of Business (Honours) degree, one additional year of study is required following the successful completion of the Bachelor of Business.
In the Honours year, you will complete courses to develop your research skills and a 20,000-word dissertation. Your dissertation topic will be decided in consultation with academic staff members and will focus on a topic or theme related to the stream of study you choose.
As a graduate, you will have a competitive edge, as you will be equipped with practical skills, experience and attributes that employers value, as well as highly developed research capabilities. Your skills will be valuable in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
Offered through the Griffith Business School, which is ranked in the top 200 worldwide by the prestigious Academic Rankings of World Universities, this degree can also provide a pathway to a Higher Degree Research (for example, PhD) and a career in academia.
The University's Bachelor Honours Degree (AQF Level 8) Policy will apply.
Applicants for this Honours program must have successfully completed the Bachelor of Business (or equivalent) with a GPA of 5.0 (using a 7.0 point scale) over second and third year level courses.
The suitability of the proposed dissertation topic and availability of supervisors will also be considered.

They can be found working in advertising and marketing, advocacy and lobby groups (non Government Organisations), banking and the financial sector, government, media and communications, small business, insurance, management, education, trade unions, political parties, and more.
As an Honours graduate, you will be able to plan and conduct research in business and commerce, and will be well-placed for positions in the private, not-for-profit and public sectors.
