<div> Overview Overview Versatile business professionals in areas such as finance, marketing and business systems, are highly sought after in the global job market. This degree is designed to hone your skills in one or more business disciplines, readying you for a specialised career in dynamic industries. It's a great choice for pursuing careers such as an accountant, financial planner, business analyst, tourism marketing manager, talent acquisition specialist or supply chain manager. You'll begin by studying a suite of core units in business. You'll explore value-creation in business, learn to use financial information to make informed and responsible decisions, and develop business intelligence and analytical capabilities to interpret data. This will provide you with a strong base to build on as you progress through the course. You'll also choose your preferred discipline/s, and begin study in this area. In your second year, you'll continue to develop expertise in your chosen discipline/s. You'll further develop your decision-making and leadership skills, which are essential in a future marketplace. You'll also benefit from exposure to industry through field trips, work-related tasks, guest lectures and industry projects. In your final year you'll undertake a capstone experience, enabling you to apply your skills in an industry environment. Real-world learning is an important component of this degree. Depending on your chosen major, you might gain hands-on skills in industry software such as LSEG Workspace for stock market trading and analysis, or TalkWalker for social media marketing and management.
