Commencement Year 2011 - 2741.5 Bachelor of Business and Commerce (Advanced Business Leadership)

This course is a broadly based, multi-discipline undergraduate course offering flexibility and choice through a range of nine different Majors, each of which reflects a particular business discipline. The degree seeks to equip its students with a high level of knowledge relevant to business issues in general as well as knowledge relevant to a specific business discipline. The intention of the course is to provide a foundation for the development of Australia’s future business leaders.
