What will I study?

students studyingCentral to every business degree at UniSA are core courses in management and business, designed to equip students with a solid foundation in business essentials and give them the key skills, knowledge and experience to succeed in subsequent years of the program.

The first year of study has a strong emphasis on general management knowledge and skills. Courses focus on topics such as management, economics, marketing, law, accounting, business communication and negotiation, organisational behaviour, management ethics, and business information systems.

In developing this understanding, courses aim to strengthen students' abilities to view an organisation as a whole, to communicate effectively, to develop 'soft skills' or people skills, to work professionally with others, and to solve problems through people. By encouraging innovative problem-solving, an entrepreneurial approach to managing, and the ability to identify opportunities, this degree seeks to develop a positive approach towards management in both the private and public sectors.

Select students have the opportunity to gain real-life experience working in industry. They will complete an enterprise-based project and report, which allows them to apply their theory to a practical situation. This valuable experience is particularly attractive when seeking employment.
