COURSE DESCRIPTION
Want a career rich with diverse experiences? The Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Arts combined course helps you build transferable skills that will equip you for a wide range of career opportunities, now and in the future. Enjoy opportunities to explore your creativity and the freedom to study more of what interests you, with a huge range of business and arts specialisations to choose from.
By combining knowledge from both specialisations, you can graduate with a unique skill set that sets you apart.

Better still, you will gain plenty of practical experience that prepares you for the everyday challenges of business, including industry placements, work-integrated learning and overseas study tours.
If you are aspiring to become a leader in business, why not graduate with a set of complementary skills that boost your employability?
The arts component of the degree allows you to hone your critical thinking skills while the business component of the degree trains you to think with an entrepreneurial mindset, developing the foundations of your business expertise.
You will study core units that have been determined by looking at emerging growth areas in industry such as financial literacy, marketing fundamentals and the global economy, then tailor your degree to your interests and career goals by choosing from the following majors:

business and digital communication
entrepreneurship and innovation
sustainability and development.
The flexibility doesn’t stop there. Create a truly unique degree by choosing from a range of over 30 arts majors, including visual arts and photography, public relations, social media and visual communication design. This level of customisation allows you to study the units that are important to you, while the diverse skills you develop open the door to a world of career opportunities.
Just as important as what you learn is how you learn it. Deakin Business School’s work integrated-learning (WIL) opportunities allow you to apply the skills you learn in the classroom in industry settings.
You will solve practical business challenges, explore innovative and emerging business trends and prepare for the nuances of international business relationships. This practical experience is invaluable – there is no better way to prepare yourself for the everyday, practical challenges of modern businesses. The networks you create through WIL placements can be of significant benefit to your career. Be ready for your chosen industry by taking on a variety of other practical learning opportunities including:
mentoring
volunteering
consulting
internships.
