Bachelor of Business

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.

Student Income Support

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.
