For Continuing Students Only
From 2020, commencing students are referred to the Bachelor of Business (1288).
Griffith's Bachelor of Business lets you design your ideal career. You can choose a single major, which will give you specialist skills in one profession. Or you can choose a second business major or additional major to give you an even broader range of skills and knowledge when you graduate. You can also choose not to complete a major, selecting from a range of courses that provide broad knowledge for a career in business management.
If you are not sure which majors to choose just yet, that is okay. Once you enrol you can try some different courses before you choose the combination that's right for you.
A Griffith business degree will prepare you for a wide range of career opportunities - from running major events through to managing key aspects of complex organisations, such as employment relations, marketing campaigns, or logistics.
At Griffith, you can build your business studies around the lifestyle that suits you. Choose to study part-time or full-time, on-campus or online.
At Logan, you can fast-track your business degree and be ready for the job market sooner. You can complete this degree in two years studying on a three-trimester per year basis (four courses per trimester). Fast-track majors at Logan include Entrepreneurship and Self-Employment, Human Resource Management, and Management. You can also complete the fast-track program online and take advantage of our advanced online learning system providing you with the flexibility and support to study anytime, anywhere.
Honours is available for this degree (through an additional year of study).
The Bachelor of Business program is offered to Domestic students via on-campus and online study and you may enrol either full-time or part-time. You may choose to study courses on-campus, online or a combination of modes to suit your requirements. You may also choose to study courses at other campuses if or where the program structure allows.
Online students will be able to access course materials, participate in learning activities, lodge assessment items and access support services via Learning@Griffith. There is no requirement for on-campus attendance and access to a reliable computer with an internet connection is essential. You may also choose to complete some courses on-campus at the Logan campus.
As a full-time student studying on-campus at Logan, you will generally enrol in four courses and participate in eight hours of scheduled classes per week throughout the trimester. As a part-time student, you will generally enrol in two courses and participate in four hours of scheduled classes per week. In both cases you will also supplement face-to-face learning with structured online learning activities.
To be classed as a full-time student, you are required to enrol in a minimum number of credit points each standard study period. The minimum credit points for full-time enrolment in this program is 30 credit points.
Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 are deemed standard study periods. As Trimester 3 is a non-standard study period, continuing students moving from one year to the next will not be required to study during this trimester to be eligible for student income support.
Domestic students who commence in Trimester 3 may be eligible for student income support from the onset of study provided they are enrolled full-time in this study period.
Please refer to the Australian Government website for more details.
