Business and Arts - B2019

Some students arrive at university with a specific plan for their studies and their career. Other curious minds prefer to keep their options open, exploring what’s possible and uncovering new pathways for the future as they go. Combining a Bachelor of Business with a Bachelor of Arts is one of the best ways to spark that curiosity – and open a world of opportunity.

With 50 majors and minors waiting for you, you’re welcome to shape two degrees that reflect the areas of study that spark your curiosity the most. Along the way, you’ll also discover how the business and arts worlds intersect – and how you can use the skills and insights you’re learning to create a unique, exciting career.

YOUR CAREER BEGINS HERE

The Bachelor of Business lays the foundations for a career in business. It’s a practical, flexible and far-reaching course, that covers business from a broader lens so you can start to focus in on the areas that inspire you. Whether that’s learning more about finance and accounting, the ins and outs of marketing or even tapping into your entrepreneurial side, you’ll have the freedom to tailor your expertise in your own way.

DOUBLE YOUR OPTIONS

The Bachelor of Arts is just as flexible – and filled with just as much potential for where you could take your future. Choose to study criminology or communications. Indigenous studies or international relations. Or apply your creativity through music, theatre or film. With so many pathways available, this is a degree designed for dynamic and diverse learning experiences.

IMAGINE WHAT YOU COULD DO

Collectively, they’re a pair rich with career possibilities. You might combine management and music to create the next game-changing music festival. Connect criminology to accounting and forge a career as a forensic accountant. Or call upon your cultural and linguistic studies to take your business career international. Whichever path you choose, you’ll be graduating with two globally-recognised degrees and an abundance of practical, applied experience to put to work.
