Bachelor of Business

The Bachelor of Business at Ozford Institute of Higher Education is a three-year degree for students who want to understand how organisations actually run, how money moves, how people are managed, how markets behave and how decisions get made. You will study core areas of business: accounting and finance, marketing, management, economics and business law. Later in the degree you choose electives or a major, so you can push further into a specialisation that matches where you want to work.

Australian bachelor degrees are structured around units of study, each worth a set number of credit points. A full-time load is usually four units a semester, and you need to pass a required total of credit points to graduate. Ozford runs semesters, so you enrol unit by unit, build your credit points, and can often speed up or slow down your load depending on your circumstances. The final part of the degree typically includes a capstone unit where you pull together what you have learned and apply it to a real business problem. Some business degrees include an internship or industry project as an elective; check the official course page for what Ozford offers and whether placement is built in or optional.

International students study on a Student visa, which lets you work up to 48 hours per fortnight while your course is in session. After you finish, the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream gives eligible graduates time to work in Australia, a common path for business graduates who want Australian experience on their CV. English entry is set at IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall or an accepted equivalent such as TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic or Cambridge C1 Advanced. The Department of Home Affairs also sets its own English threshold for the visa itself, so you need to satisfy both.

This degree suits school leavers who want a broad business education before choosing a direction, career changers who need formal qualifications, and international students who want an Australian degree and post-study work rights. It is not a specialist technical degree, it gives you the language and tools of business across several functions, which is what most graduate roles assume. Tuition is published on the CRICOS register under course code 088192D. Confirm current entry requirements, unit offerings and fees on the official page before you apply.
