Bachelor of Business

The Bachelor of Business at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne is designed to provide students with a comprehensive foundation in contemporary business practices. Across three years of full-time study, students engage in an engaging curriculum centred on key business disciplines such as management, marketing, finance, accounting, and entrepreneurship. The course structure follows the Australian higher education model, where students complete a sequence of units of study, each contributing to an overall total of credit points required for graduation.

Students have the flexibility to tailor their degree by selecting from a variety of majors and electives, allowing them to specialise in areas that best align with their career ambitions. The programme integrates practical learning experiences, including industry projects and opportunities for work-integrated learning (WIL), ensuring graduates are well-versed in both theory and its real-world application. This practice-oriented approach is further enhanced through close connections with local industries in Melbourne and broader Australia, providing valuable networking and practical experience options.

The capstone experience in the final year ensures students consolidate and demonstrate their cumulative learning through a significant project or applied business solution. Throughout the course, students develop a robust skill set in critical thinking, effective communication, ethical decision-making, teamwork, and adaptability, qualities highly sought after in business environments. The degree is well-suited for school leavers or those advancing their studies wishing to enter diverse sectors within the Australian and global business landscape.

International students will need to meet Swinburne’s English language proficiency requirements. While enrolled, students are permitted to work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may be eligible to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream.
