Bachelor of Business (Management)

The Bachelor of Business (Management) at RMIT University in Melbourne looks at how organisations operate, how teams are managed, and how effective strategy is crafted in the workplace. Over three years, students complete core and elective units of study, earning credit points toward their degree as per Australian university structure. The course blends classroom learning with problem-solving tasks that are shaped by real business scenarios, preparing students for situations they'll encounter in Australian and international firms.

Students examine decision-making, people management, organisational change, operations, and leadership styles. Group assignments and case studies are common, helping students build teamwork and communication skills. Many units are designed with feedback from industry, so the knowledge students gain reflects actual business practices in Australia. Work-integrated learning opportunities—such as internships or projects with local companies—offer practical experience and direct industry contact.

In their final year, students often take on a capstone project. This allows them to research or address a real management problem, tying together what they've learned across their studies. There are also chances to specialise by selecting elective units in areas such as entrepreneurship, human resources, or project management.

This undergraduate degree suits those who want a career in administration, team leadership, or consulting, as well as those considering further study such as an MBA. RMIT's industry links in Melbourne offer students pathways into the business community. As with all Australian degrees, students should check the university’s website for patterns of study and up-to-date course requirements. International students are eligible for 48 hours per fortnight work rights during study, and may be able to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after finishing, depending on their situation.
