See the degree grade →The Bachelor of Business Administration is an undergraduate degree that introduces core business functions—management, marketing, finance and operations—and the analytical and communication skills needed to work in organisations. It suits students who want a broad, practical foundation for careers in business or for further study in management-related fields.
Students study core topics across business functions and supporting methods. Typical subject areas include management and organisational behaviour, marketing principles, financial and managerial accounting, business finance, operations and supply chain basics, business law and ethics, and quantitative methods such as statistics and spreadsheet modelling. Coursework commonly includes group projects, case analysis and an applied research or capstone project to integrate learning.
Entry normally requires completion of secondary education with qualifications recognised by the university. Applicants are expected to demonstrate sufficient ability in English and in numeracy or mathematics at the secondary level. The university may also consider other academic credentials or equivalent qualifications; check the institution for details on documentation and admissions tests.
Graduates are prepared for entry-level roles in areas such as administration, sales and marketing, customer relations, operations, human resources and junior finance positions. The degree also provides a foundation for entrepreneurship or further study in specialised master’s programmes and professional qualifications in accounting, finance or HR.
Many students combine merit- or need-based scholarships, government or institutional funding and part-time work to support their studies. Prospective applicants should review the university's scholarship listings and external funding sources, prepare strong supporting documents (transcripts, statements of purpose, references) and apply early to maximise available assistance.
