Bachelor of Business Administration

The Bachelor of Business Administration at SP Jain School of Global Management is a two-year accelerated degree. It covers the core of business: accounting, marketing, economics, business statistics, organisational behaviour, operations and strategy. You will also take units in business communication and information systems, because employers expect graduates to analyse data and explain what it means. The course is taught in trimesters, so you complete the same volume of study as a three-year degree in less calendar time. Each unit carries credit points, and you need to pass a set number of units to graduate. The exact unit list and credit-point rules are on the official course page.

Assessment is a mix of exams, group projects, case studies and presentations. In the final stage you complete a capstone unit that pulls together what you have learned. You might analyse a real company, build a business plan or work on a consulting project for an organisation. The degree includes work-integrated learning: an internship or industry project where you apply your skills in a workplace. SP Jain has campuses in Dubai, Singapore, Sydney and Mumbai, and undergraduate students typically study across more than one of them. That means you graduate with experience of different business markets, not just one.

You will finish with skills in financial analysis, market research, project management and teamwork. You will be able to read a balance sheet, write a marketing plan, use spreadsheets and business software, and present an argument to a room of people. These are the skills that small businesses, banks, consultancies, retailers, tech companies and government agencies look for when they hire graduates.

This degree suits school leavers who want to move quickly into a business career, and also students who want an international experience without committing to a longer degree. If you are unsure whether you want to specialise in finance, marketing or management, the broad first year gives you room to decide. It also suits people who have started a business or worked in a family business and want formal training. English requirements for international applicants are usually 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 sets a separate English threshold for the Student visa itself, so check both. While you study, your visa lets you work up to 48 hours per fortnight. After you finish, the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream may let you stay and work in Australia, depending on your circumstances.
