BBusStud

The Bachelor of Business Studies has been introduced to meet the demand for a flexible, generalist, open learning undergraduate degree in business. The course draws upon the extensive portfolio of subjects already developed by the Faculty of Commerce, the subject offerings of other faculties of CSU and any tertiary study a student may previously have undertaken. The course allows students to construct a program of study that they, individually, consider will best meet their future needs. It allows them to select the skills, knowledge and attributes that they believe will be required of them upon graduation and which are inherent in the existing subjects upon which they will build their program of study. Students may enter the Bachelor of Business Studies without any tertiary experience or be admitted from an approved range of domestic and international programs in both business and non-business areas with up to sixteen subjects credit.
