Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Business Conjoint Programmes
Give yourself an edge by combining a Bachelor of Business with a Bachelor of Arts, which will help you refine your communication skills and better engage with the community your business operates within.
In as little as four years, you develop skills from two complementary disciplines, preparing you for numerous career opportunities. You could combine your business degree with a language major, helping prepare you for an international business career; or follow your passion for event management, culinary arts or social sciences, and develop core business skills at the same time.
