About this program

The Bachelor of Business (Honours) at Griffith University is designed for students who have completed an undergraduate business degree and want to pursue in-depth research or develop specialist knowledge in a particular business discipline. Over the course of one year, students complete advanced coursework and undertake a substantial research thesis or project under academic supervision. This thesis allows students to explore a business problem or topic of interest in depth, applying research methods and critical analysis relevant to contemporary business practice.

Study at Griffith means engaging with Australian business sectors through case studies, guest lectures, and potential links to research projects involving local partnerships. Honours students typically undertake their study over two full-time semesters, gaining credit through a structured mix of units and their individual research work, at Griffith, this usually adds up to a total of 80 credit points for the honours year.

This degree is for those interested in advancing their analytical, research, and problem-solving skills in a business context, possibly as preparation for further study at the postgraduate or doctoral level. It's also suitable for students targeting specialist or analyst roles requiring advanced knowledge, or who want deeper insight into real business challenges before entering or re-entering the workforce.

International students can demonstrate English proficiency through tests like IELTS, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, or equivalent qualifications recognised by Griffith. Students holding a Student visa can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study, and may be eligible to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-graduation.
