Understand business.
Develop your own perspective.
The SBS Bachelor of Business Administration brings business education together with practical skills and personal development. It is designed to give students a broad foundation, with room to explore their interests before narrowing their focus.
Understanding organisations is part of that education. So is understanding people, cultures and the role business plays in society. The programme encourages students to question assumptions, examine different perspectives and develop the resilience to respond to change.
Across three academic years, students study management, marketing, finance, economics, psychology, law and entrepreneurship. Business Skills Labs connect learning with practical work, while language study supports communication across cultures.
The programme’s wider purpose is to prepare students to participate meaningfully in society and address the environmental, institutional and social challenges facing their generation.
