Your first year will address all core disciplines of business, giving a solid understanding of issues facing organisations today.

If you do not wish to select a major, you will complete advanced business subjects of your choosing, providing extensive knowledge and expertise across the field of business. Additionally, you will complete a final-year capstone subject that lets you apply everything you've learned in collaboration with students from other disciplines. Plus, you'll have the option of applying for an internship to gain valuable experience while receiving credit towards your degree. This degree features UOW's flexible structure, which gives you a foundation of core expertise, a major in the area that relates to your degree, alongside a flexible zone you can use to explore a second major, pick up two minors or explore electives across the university, all within a standard three-year timeline (or part-time equivalent). The Bachelor of Business can form the first three years of a UOW Integrated Master's (IM), allowing you to complete your Bachelor of Business and a master's degree in four years.

Hear From the Students

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
