Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Data Science

The Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Data Science at Griffith University brings together two areas that are in high demand: business acumen and analytical expertise. Over four years of full-time study in Brisbane, students complete a structured program of units across both business and data science. You’ll progress through core business subjects, such as management, marketing, and accounting, while also studying data analytics, machine learning, and statistics. Most subjects are taught in semesters, and each unit is assigned a specific number of credit points, which contribute toward your overall degree requirements.

As part of this double degree, students can often pursue work-integrated learning experiences, such as internships with local businesses and tech companies in Queensland. These placements give you the chance to see how data-driven decision-making works in a genuine organisational setting. Assessment may include group projects, case studies, and, in later years, a capstone project or research task that pulls together your knowledge from both fields.

Graduates build well-developed skills in data analysis, critical thinking, business strategy, and communication. The degree suits those interested in helping businesses use data to solve problems and inform strategic decisions. It’s a good fit if you like both numbers and people, and if you’re looking for a pathway that blends technical and commercial knowledge.

International students at Griffith benefit from strong industry ties and have work rights for 48 hours per fortnight during study. After graduation, the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) can provide an opportunity to gain local work experience.
