Business

Whether you’re a budding business owner, an intrepid entrepreneur, or future leader, the Bachelor of Business at Melbourne Polytechnic will teach you the skills for success. We’ve designed this degree to provide you with the relevant knowledge and the technical, communication and career management skills needed to succeed in a wide range of jobs, carve new career pathways or lead your own start-up. You can focus your studies on one of three specialisation streams. Management, Marketing or Entrepreneurship. In a climate of uninterrupted economic growth that’s lasted over twenty years, now’s the time to pursue your business dreams.

At Melbourne Polytechnic, we developed our Bachelor of Business through research and consultation with industry specialists and academic experts from Australian businesses and universities. First year students will gain foundational knowledge and skills in the basics of business and personal and professional development. In your second year, you will begin to personalise your course by specialising in one of the three streams. Final year students will apply their cumulative knowledge through two capstone projects - entering the industry with experience and knowledge that can be applied immediately. All subjects are taught by experienced lecturers with business industry experience and Masters or PhD qualifications.

Students graduate with a Bachelor of Business at the end of a three-year full time study load. When you have successfully completed the first two years of the Bachelor degree, you may choose to exit with the Associate Degree of Business. The Bachelor of Business can open doors to a broad range of jobs across diverse industry sectors. Your career might be in accounting, banking, economics, marketing, consulting, IT and government, or even across the world of international business. You might find work as a human resource manager, business strategist, international trade manager, business analyst, market researcher, e-business or supply chain manager or marketing, brand or sales manager. You could even combine the skills and knowledge of your degree with your unique thinking as a successful entrepreneur.
