About this program

The Bachelor of Business at Adelaide University is a comprehensive three-year undergraduate programme designed to build a foundational and practical understanding of core business concepts. Students will explore topics such as management, finance, marketing, organisational behaviour, economics, and business analytics. The course structure typically includes several units of study, each contributing credit points towards the degree, and allows for flexible subject selection to tailor learning to career goals.

In alignment with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), the degree is structured around semesters, with students completing a set number of credit points to graduate. Opportunities to engage in work-integrated learning, such as internships and industry placements, are available to help students develop real-world skills and apply theoretical knowledge in authentic business settings. Some streams may culminate in a capstone project, providing valuable hands-on experience and a chance to demonstrate cumulative learning.

Graduates emerge with a broad, adaptable skill set, strategic decision-making, teamwork, leadership, communication, and analytical thinking, that is highly valued across Australian industries. The Bachelor of Business is well-suited to students seeking a strong grounding in business, whether aiming to enter the workforce upon graduation or progressing to honours or postgraduate studies. Adelaide's central business district location provides exceptional access to business and industry links, supporting practical learning and networking opportunities.

International students must demonstrate English proficiency (typically IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 or equivalent). While studying, students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream.
