What you will study
Torrens runs its business degree as an applied, industry-connected programme delivered in small classes across its city campuses and online. First year covers business fundamentals: management principles, marketing, accounting basics, business communication, economics and data literacy, with case studies and live briefs from partner organisations rather than purely theoretical lectures. Middle stage you choose a specialisation such as marketing, management, entrepreneurship, human resources, event management or international business. Torrens leans into entrepreneurship and practice, with mentoring, start-up style projects and assessment built around real business problems. Trimester delivery means three intakes a year and a faster route to completion. Final stage centres on a capstone consultancy or business project plus a work-integrated learning placement or internship arranged through Torrens industry network. Graduates leave with a portfolio of applied work, an internship on their resume and direct employer contacts.
