About this program

The Bachelor of Business Professional Practice at RMIT University is a four-year degree based in Melbourne, focusing on practical business skills with a strong industry orientation. Students complete units of study that cover management, marketing, accounting, and entrepreneurship, alongside developing essential communication and leadership skills. The structure includes core business subjects, electives for specialisation, and opportunities for real-world learning in the form of professional placements.

Study is organised into semesters, with each unit contributing credit points towards your degree. In the later years, you'll tackle a capstone project or similar applied business problem, teaming up with peers and mentors to solve challenges from partner companies. Work-integrated learning forms a significant part of the course, allowing you to gain hands-on experience in Australian organisations, an attractive feature for students seeking to build local networks before graduation.

The degree suits those aiming for a career in business who want exposure to real industry settings and Australian business practices. RMIT’s links with Melbourne’s corporate and start-up scenes mean students can apply knowledge to actual business operations and projects. You’ll finish with practical skills needed in today’s workplaces: problem-solving, teamwork, decision-making, and adaptability.

International students should note they can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during teaching periods and may be eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). Entry requires proof of English language proficiency. Detailed entry and course requirements should be confirmed on the university’s official page.
