Option B: Four elective units

Electives are units you can select from across the University, provided you meet any required prerequisites for the unit.

Choose four electives to explore other study areas, broaden your skills and try something new.

In your final year, you’ll complete a practical learning unit, also known as a capstone experience unit, to further your practical skills and finish off your studies.

This course includes the following capstone experience unit.

• Wicked Challenges: Explore complex real-world problems through multidisciplinary, project-based learning. You’ll collaborate with peers, academics and industry experts to consider issues affecting people at individual, community and global levels.

Alternatively, you may be able to study the capstone experience units below, which provide different real-world opportunities.

• Business Clinic: Apply your business knowledge, ethical decision-making and problem-solving skills to a consulting environment, working directly with individuals, small organisations and start-ups. You’ll grow confidence in your skills by responding to real business challenges.
• Business Internship: Apply your analytical thinking and professional skills in a real workplace by contributing to industry projects and activities, helping you build career readiness and confidence. You’ll be supported by an academic adviser and an industry professional, with opportunities to expand your professional network.
• Business and Law International Experience: Broaden your perspective, build your intercultural capacity and continue your studies overseas by studying a short course with one of our global exchange partners.
• Business Study Tour or International Business Project: Immerse yourself in local or international industry settings through site visits, guest lectures and team projects. With the guidance of our academic staff, you’ll develop your leadership, problem-solving and global industry skills.
• Enhancing Your Business Mind: Use your entrepreneurial skills, business ideas and critical thinking to solve real workplace challenges. You’ll build employability skills and prepare for life after university.

Note: Capstone eligibility and availability may vary based on academic performance, room in your study plan and any applicable travel restrictions. This does not apply to Enhancing Your Business Mind.
