Course description
Note: In Sydney the course is offered over two campuses. Students undertake three of the four units in Years 1 and 2 of the course at the Strathfield Campus and all units in Years 3 and 4 of the course at the North Sydney campus.
Graduate career options in a range of business-related fields will be broadened by generic communication and problem-solving skills developed in the Bachelor of Arts component of the combined degree course.
In keeping with the Mission of the University, several units within the degree focus on business ethics and personal values of the individual in a workplace setting. One compulsory unit of Professional Industry Experience is also incorporated in the degree. The Professional Industry Experience is designed to assist students to link their studies to the 'real world' of work, and to assist in gaining career employment on graduation.
