About this program

The Bachelor of Business at Swinburne University of Technology offers a comprehensive education in the fundamentals and contemporary practices of business in Australia and globally. Designed for students seeking to develop a strong foundation in areas such as management, marketing, finance, and entrepreneurship, the course gives you an understanding of how businesses operate within today’s dynamic and digitally-connected environment. Students are encouraged to select a specialisation aligned with their professional interests, with flexibility to study a range of business disciplines.

The course is structured over three years of full-time study, using a semester-based schedule. Students complete a series of core and elective units, each typically valued at a fixed number of credit points. The program includes opportunities for practical experience through work-integrated learning such as industry projects, internships, or placements, giving students hands-on exposure to real business environments. As students progress, they may have the option to work on a capstone project that synthesises their learning and showcases their skills to potential employers.

This qualification suits individuals who wish to pursue careers in a diverse range of industries or roles, or those planning to launch their own businesses. It develops critical skills in problem-solving, communication, ethical decision-making, and digital literacy. Swinburne’s industry links in Melbourne and beyond support strong employability, and students are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular and networking opportunities throughout their studies.

International students benefit from the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream, which allows graduates to gain Australian industry experience. During their studies, eligible international students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight, supporting practical skill development and financial independence. Entry requirements include evidence of English proficiency, typically via IELTS or equivalent tests; details and tuition information can be confirmed via the official Swinburne or CRICOS pages.
