Bachelor of Business

The Bachelor of Business at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane introduces students to the fundamental principles and practices that shape commerce, management, and organisational decision-making. Across three years of study, students engage with key business disciplines such as accounting, economics, marketing, finance, management, and business analytics. The curriculum is split into units of study, each with assigned credit points, which collectively build towards the completion of the degree as recognised on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

QUT structures this degree in semesters, allowing for both core units and elective choices, so students can tailor their learning towards their interests or potential specialisations. Many students choose a major such as marketing, human resource management, international business, or finance. Capstone units are built into the later stages of the degree, with integrated projects or simulations that mirror real business challenges.

Skills gained include practical problem-solving, strategic thinking, digital literacy in business tools, and communication. The university connects students with industry through work-integrated learning opportunities, this may include internships, project work with local companies, or practical assignments informed by current industry needs. Such exposure is valuable for those looking to apply their learning in an Australian workplace or globally.

This degree suits those who value flexibility, enjoy teamwork, and want clear pathways to professional roles in Australian business or the wider Asia-Pacific context. English proficiency is required for international applicants, and QUT accepts a range of test results. Students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying, and graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
