Overview

Gain practical, real-world experience and make professional connections when you study a Bachelor of Business at UOW. Develop core skills across all business functions, as you build specialist knowledge to excel in today's dynamic and complex business environment.

Your first year will address all core disciplines of business, giving a solid understanding of issues facing organisations today. You will then have the option to select a major in one or more of the principal areas of business. If you do not wish to select a major, you will complete advanced business subjects of your choosing, providing extensive knowledge and expertise across the field of business.

Additionally, you will complete a final-year capstone subject that lets you apply everything you've learned in collaboration with students from other disciplines. Plus, you'll have the option of applying for an internship to gain valuable experience while receiving credit towards your degree.

See the course handbook for more information.

The Bachelor of Business can form the first three years of a UOW Integrated Master's (IM), allowing you to complete your Bachelor of Business and a master's degree in four years.

A major in Legal Studies will equip you with knowledge and skills regarding legal concepts, ideas and institutions in Australia and internationally. You will learn key legal skills including the interpretation of legislation and case law, and the application of law to solve legal problems. You will develop a working understanding of the substance and process of law in social, government, environmental, commercial and international contexts. You will also develop skills in critically analysing relationships between law and justice, which can be applied to a range of other study areas. As a graduate, a major in Legal Studies will empower you to apply a legal perspective in a wide range of professional contexts.
