Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Business (Management) CB04

Program Overview

This combined degree program is designed to allow students to meet professional accreditation in Management, and to complete two separate plans in Arts.

By studying a range of functional areas, students will obtain a general understanding of business operations as they exist in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, without the need to specialise in one specific functional area. Graduate career opportunities include administration management, quality management, logistics management, small business management, and operations management.

Students should consider the following points in selecting courses to be studied in a particular year, enabling them to structure their study program so prerequisite courses are completed prior to subsequent advanced level courses:

• full-time students usually study a maximum of four courses per term;
  part-time students usually study a maximum of two courses per term; and
  details of course availability (term offered, internal and distance availability, prerequisites) are in the Table of Course Availability section, and students must make themselves aware of these.

This course places some emphasis on developing the student’s competencies and practical knowledge of the business applications of computing. Internal students will spend time in computer facilities as part of their regular classes and distance students will need to ensure, when undertaking certain courses of study, they have a high level of access to adequate computer facilities.
