COURSE DESCRIPTION
Highlights
- This new course combines the standard three-year Bachelor of Business degree with one year of compulsory overseas studies
- Choose one of 12 majors: accounting, advertising, behavioural economics, economics, entrepreneurship and innovation, finance, financial planning, human resource management, international business, management, marketing or public relations
- Your year of overseas study can either offer you a second degree, cultural immersion or flexible exchange program
- Enhance your international knowledge and intercultural skills
- Employers are looking for graduates who can bring an international experience to their job.
The first of its kind in Australia, QUT’s Bachelor of Business – International combines the three-year Bachelor of Business with one year of compulsory international studies. The combination gives you all of the outcomes of the standard degree plus international skills developed during your international study year.
International study year options
You will have a range of options to choose from for your overseas study year, including:
-
Second degree program– If you are interested in getting a second degree from an internationally recognised university then there are a number of options available at:
Language and cultural immersion – Are you interested in living or working in China, Japan, Korea, Chile or another country? Why not undertake a year of studies, concentrating on developing language, cultural and business skills relevant to that region.
-
Special programs – Undertake a certificate program at selected partners and you can be awarded a certificate for studies in a related area, or apply to undertake an internship on exchange for credit.
-
Flexible exchange studies – Maybe you just want to spend a year living in a country of interest, or studying something we don’t offer at QUT. You can use this option to complete a year of international study while keeping all of your QUT study options open.
