Bachelor of Arts (Second Major: Business)

As part of The University of Notre Dame Australia’s Bachelor of Arts, our Business Second Major will provide you with a solid grounding in modern business practice, allowing you to successfully operate in several working environments – from government departments to private enterprises and the not-for-profit sector.

You can choose from a wide range of business-related units, such as Marketing, Innovation, Business Law, Strategic Management, Entrepreneurship and the Psychology of Work.

Apart from attending several campus-based lectures and tutorials, you will also complete 150 hours of work experience. This ensures that you get plenty of hands-on training during your degree and have the opportunity to showcase your learnings in a real-world setting.

Our Business Second Major will equip you with the underpinning commercial skills required to operate a successful business environment.
