This dual-degree programme is structured over two years and is designed for ambitious professionals who wish to excel in global markets where strategic business decision-making and data interpretation intersect.

Students typically complete a series of units of study accumulated as credit points, covering essential topics such as global business environments, strategic management, leadership, data mining, machine learning, and business analytics. The structure may include core courses, electives, and a significant capstone project, allowing for the integration and practical application of knowledge.

Graduates develop expertise in leadership, teamwork, critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to analyse complex datasets to inform business strategy. The programme is suited to individuals keen to enhance their business acumen with technical analytical capabilities, especially those aspiring to managerial roles in sectors transformed by data-driven decision-making. As part of a public Australian university, students benefit from strong ties to local industries and research, supporting future employability.
