In your first year, you won’t drift between disconnected units. You’ll build a sharp, integrated understanding of how business actually works - from decisions and data to people and performance.

You’ll develop capability across four core business domains:

• How organisations succeed (and fail)

• How to bring commercial knowledge to solving complex, real-world problems
• How data informs good business decision making

These four core areas help you develop a solid foundation that you can build on through your chosen major, while also giving you the clarity to recognise your strengths, pursue your interests and shape the direction of your degree.
