What you will study
First year is a broad business core: management principles, marketing fundamentals, accounting for decision-making, business statistics, microeconomics and a business communication or academic-skills course. Griffith Business School teaches across the Nathan, Gold Coast and South Bank campuses, so you can usually study close to home in south-east Queensland. Second year is where you commit to a major such as marketing, management, human resource management, international business, event management or supply-chain and logistics. Courses become more applied, with case studies, simulations and group consulting projects, and you start a minor or second major. Third year focuses on strategy and capstone work. You take an integrating strategic-management course and usually a work-integrated learning placement or industry consulting project arranged through Griffith's employer networks. The emphasis shifts from theory to applied business problem-solving and a professional portfolio.
