About this program

The Bachelor of Business (Honours) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is designed for high-achieving graduates seeking to advance their knowledge in business theory and research. Delivered over one year of full-time study, this honours program provides an opportunity to deepen expertise in a chosen area of business administration through advanced coursework and an independent research thesis. Honours at UTS sits at AQF Level 8 and offers students the chance to specialise in research design, critical analysis, and communication of complex business concepts.

The program structure usually includes one or two semesters comprised of advanced units of study, each with specified credit points contributing to the degree requirements. A significant component is the research thesis or major project, supervised by experienced academic staff. This allows students to investigate a business issue in depth, contributing original insights to the field. Honours also introduces students to research methodologies and ethical considerations relevant to business practice in the Australian and global contexts.

Throughout the honours year, students build valuable skills in independent thinking, analytical reasoning, data evaluation, and scholarly writing. The program suits graduates wishing to pursue roles that demand advanced research capabilities or those considering further study, such as a higher degree by research (masters or PhD). UTS's location in Sydney offers strong connections to local industry, providing opportunities for research projects relevant to Australian businesses and professional networks.
