Bachelor of Business with Honours

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.

To be admitted to the BBus(Hons), you must have been awarded the Bachelor of Business (BBus) degree, or an equivalent qualification, with at least a B grade average across the 300-level papers.

You also need to have satisfied the prerequisites for graduate study in the major subject you wish to specialise in for the BBus(Hons) at a level considered appropriate by the Academic Board.

Candidates who do not meet these requirements may still be considered for special admission, subject to the completion of any qualifying papers.
