Program overview

In the search for international competitiveness, management skills and vision are vital to the success of all organisations. The Bachelor of Business (Management) teaches managers to:

  • establish a good working environment that allows staff to develop and work effectively
  • understand organisational change
  • critically assess management ideas
  • combine management skills with ‘technical’ business competence in areas such as marketing, information systems, accounting or tourism
  • plan a career and what it takes to move ahead

The program is designed around several key themes reflecting the challenges you will face as a practising manager. These include leadership, change, strategy, globalisation, human resource management, ethics and social responsibility, and small business management.

Elective courses are available in the faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, or Science, Health and Education. These may include a four-course minor.
