Bachelor of Business with Honours
A BBus(Hons) degree provides a year of postgraduate study after your Bachelor of Business that will deepen and enrich your understanding of your major subject.
Why study a BBus(Hons)?
An honours degree signals to employers that you have advanced knowledge and critical thinking skills in your chosen field of study, giving you a competitive edge in the workforce.
You will also know how to communicate ideas in a logical and persuasive manner, informed by the latest research findings and policies.
The degree includes a combination of taught papers (up to 90 points), and a research dissertation (at least 30 points) on a topic of your own choice.
It's ideal for students who progress their career more quickly, or prepare for an academic/research career later on.
By the time you graduate, you will have developed the skills and confidence to identify problems and recommend solutions for a wide range of organisational, business and social issues.
