Griffith's Bachelor of Business lets you design your ideal career. You can choose a single major, which will give you specialist skills in one profession. Or you can choose a second business major or additional major to give you an even broader range of skills and knowledge when you graduate. You can also choose not to complete a major, selecting from a range of courses that provide broad knowledge for a career in business management.

If you are not sure which majors to choose just yet, that is okay. This degree has a foundation first year which lets you try a number of different courses before you choose the combination that's right for you. You can also switch between degrees that share the foundation year and the courses/subjects will transfer to the new degree with you.

A Griffith business degree will prepare you for a wide range of career opportunities - from running major events through to managing key aspects of complex organisations, such as employment relations, marketing campaigns, or logistics. It is an excellent degree for entrepreneurs, innovators as well as those wanting to prepare for a management role.
