Bachelor of Business

Course Code G95

ECU's Business degree has been designed to give students comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in business. At the foundation of the new Business Degree lies the Business Edge program, which has been devised from the Australian Employability Framework, equipping students to identify, describe, analyse and resolve business problems.

It uses the latest technology, enabling students to study in virtual teams and creating a realistic workplace environment. By using case studies and real-life problems, students explore ethical, political and current affairs issues and develop their negotiation and communication skills. The Business Edge Program will also run exchange programs with international universities. Students will be able to learn locally, and study globally, opening them up to new experiences, cultural awareness and new international prospects.
