FEE (INDICATIVE)

The Bachelor of Advanced Business (Honours) is designed to deliver a thorough understanding of the complex concepts facing organisations today whilst allowing customisation toward the business skill of your choice. This new degree takes you through a unique skill set that will give you a competitive edge in the employment market. You'll be equipped with the skills necessary to plan and conduct research in business and government, and will be well-placed for positions in the private, not-for-profit, and public sectors.  Delivered using the latest innovations in learning, your courses/subjects will be integrated with first-hand work experiences and organisational simulations, so you’ll apply the latest academic learning in workplace environments.

This degree is designed to allow students from all business disciplines to commence in the same foundation year and then specialise in the business application of your choice. So, whether you want to be an accountant, an advertising executive, an international business consultant or an entrepreneur; all you need to do is enrol and customise as you go.  In your third and fourth year, you will choose a thesis which will further develop and demonstrate your proficiency and application in your chosen area. You can also apply to take an internship or study overseas as part of your thesis, helping you graduate with advanced skills that will ensure you stand out in the employment market.

Offered through the Griffith Business School which is ranked in the top 200 worldwide by the prestigious Academic Rankings of World Universities, this degree can also provide a pathway to a Higher Degree Research (for example, PhD) and a career in academia.

Discover your passion
You’ll complete six discovery courses/subjects that are based in the core skills critical to successful business operations (including analysis, accounting, economics, management, organisational psychology, marketing, international business) and apply them across a range of interdisciplinary and authentic activities. The discovery year is designed to simulate practical environments across a variety of commercial applications so that you learn to apply theory in practice to the trends and challenges of today’s environment. They will help you discover your strengths, choose your majors and hone your skills in your discipline of choice. More importantly, you will start to investigate the purpose that drives you and brings meaning and motivation to drive your career. Plus, when you graduate, you’ll stand out in the job market because you’ll be able to apply the skills gained in your major across a wide range of business simulations.  You’ll also add two courses/subjects from another area of study like science or the arts. This is your opportunity to embrace your passion or discover a new one. You’ll graduate with extra skills which set you apart in the work place; and a thorough understanding of the links that business draws between all industries.  

Customisation and professional outcomes
In your second year, you can choose from 20 Business majors, and from 4 Language majors. After you have completed your first year, you can move seamlessly into and between majors and languages. You don't need to select your major until your second year of study.

Transformational international opportunities, with hands-on learning
You will have the opportunity to choose local or overseas study, competitions and internships as part of your degree. You can apply with one of our partners or receive support to find your own. Griffith Business School supports all students with the opportunity for experiences that transform the way you think and help uncover the passion which drives your work.
