Bachelor of Business (Management) CQ07

Program Overview

The program is for those seeking a general understanding of industry, commerce and government in Australia and the Asia-Pacific without specialisation in one specific functional area. This is particularly attractive to those students who have completed an Associate or Advanced Diploma in business-related areas and wish to extend their knowledge and skills. The flexibility available from this program is its greatest strength.

Career opportunities include administration management, quality management, logistics management, small business management and operations management.

The Bachelor of Business (Management) program not only offers students the opportunity to study a degree that is recognised by professional management bodies throughout Australia, but also allows students the flexibility to design a program of study that will best meet their individual career aspirations and take advantage of the rapidly changing career opportunities that exist in the modern business environment.

Students should consider the following points in selecting the 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 4 courses per term;
• part-time students usually study a maximum of 2 courses per term;
• refer to the table of course availability for detailed information about term offered, internal and distance availability, prerequisites.

The Faculty’s undergraduate courses have some emphasis on developing the student’s competencies and practical knowledge of the business applications of computing. Internal students will spend time in the Faculty’s 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.
