About the course
A BBus(Hons) degree provides a year of postgraduate study after your Bachelor of Business that will deepen and enrich your understanding of your major subject. 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.
