The Bachelor of Business Analytics/Bachelor of Business at Swinburne University of Technology is an integrated double degree designed to equip students with both advanced analytical expertise and a comprehensive grounding in contemporary business practices. Set in Melbourne, a major Australian commercial hub, this four-year course combines studies in information systems, data analytics, and traditional business fields such as management, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Throughout the programme, students undertake core and elective units of study, accumulating credit points as required by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) for a double bachelor's degree.
Students benefit from a curriculum that encourages the application of data-driven decision making to solve real-world problems across various business sectors. The degree structure comprises trimesters of study, with students having opportunities to engage in work-integrated learning and professional placements. This hands-on experience allows students to apply their knowledge within Australian industries and develop practical skills valued by employers.
The course fosters capabilities in critical thinking, problem solving, data visualisation, database management, business intelligence, and communication. In their final year, students often undertake a capstone project, synthesising analytical skills and business know-how to deliver solutions to authentic industry challenges. This approach suits individuals interested in harnessing data to steer business insight and growth, whether in commercial, government, or not-for-profit settings.
International students seeking to enrol in this programme must demonstrate English proficiency (at least IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall or accepted equivalents). Swinburne’s industry links in Melbourne open pathways for work experience during study and after graduation, students on a Student visa are usually eligible to work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may be eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
