About business

Whether you travel the world for international business, manage a successful team, enter the finance field or launch a marketing agency, a career in business means opportunities. It’s up to you which one you chase, but no matter your goal, we can help you reach it. And with us, you’ll get more than your usual business degree. You’ll learn how to act, lead and empower others to create positive and sustainable change.

Global and ethical

In today’s world, you need professional, technical and cross-cultural skills. All our units are embedded with the United Nations sustainable goals and our intercultural communication module is designed to build cultural awareness and communication skills which are vital in the global workplace. You can further extend your intercultural experience by taking part in a Global Virtual Classroom, studying at our Rome Campus or participating in an international study tour.

Build your leadership potential

Graduate with an edge

Preparing you for your career in business is our focus. With us, you’ll benefit from our Future Ready program, workshop-style classes, and community engagement/internships. All designed to ensure you gain experience, build networks, and graduate with the skills and CV to impress your future employer.

Discover work experience opportunities

Professional recognition

Our courses are co-designed with industry and contain embedded Microsoft certifications. Plus, they are recognised and accredited by the major professional bodies, including international EPAS Accreditation, Australian OHS Education Accreditation Board, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, Certified Practicing Accountants of Australia, the Institute of Public Accountants, the Financial Planning Education Council, and the Australian Human Resources Institute.

Make the right connections

Tailor your career to your interests

Whether you know exactly what field of business you want to go into, or you aren’t quite sure, we’ve got you covered. Our Bachelor of Business Administration is a generalist degree – so you can graduate ready for a range of business careers and then tailor your profession as you go. With our Bachelor of Commerce, you can major in your area of interest – and even then, you don’t have to decide straight away. You’ll study foundation units to get to know what area you’re most passionate about and can change your major at the start of your second year if you decide your interest lies elsewhere.

Student profile Business student Alexander Aloschi-Hopfner

Alexander Aloschi-Hopfner

Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing and Management)

“The opportunity to undertake a placement during my studies has enhanced my knowledge and experience in so many ways. Typically, being in a class room you learn the theory but, in many cases, you don’t know how to apply the knowledge or when. The opportunity to complete a placement whilst studying has allowed me to understand the concepts of work-life-balance and industrial knowledge. Receiving guidance by those who directly work in the industry, I experienced unexpected and unplanned situations; be it complex, basic or hindering stress. Without this placement, I do not think that I would be where I am today with my improvement in business skills, personal qualities and knowledge.”
