Course variations

Course summary

This course comprises ten core courses and six electives. Students have the option of choosing electives to specialize in fields such as Finance, Leadership, Marketing, Project Management and Business of Government. Alternatively the six electives can be chosen from a wide range of disciplinary options to suit individual interests and requirements. Core to the program is the Integrating Business Project, a real-life opportunity to develop and implement a new venture business plan for a company. This is not a simulation - students work with companies and organizations based in Canberra and around Australia to assist them in developing new business ventures. It is an opportunity to draw together and apply learning from the program.
