Bachelor of Business

The Bachelor of Business at Torrens University Australia offers a flexible, hands-on introduction to the world of business — ideal for anyone who wants a broad, practical foundation whether you’re heading for corporate management or dreaming of launching your own venture. Over three years, you’ll learn how businesses operate, how to spot opportunities for growth, and build real skills through projects and industry-based experience.

Curriculum Structure

Year 1
In your first year you’ll start by building essential skills in communication and teamwork through units like Academic and Business Communication Skills and Understanding Self and Others, helping you sharpen how you express ideas and collaborate — no prior business background required. You’ll also dive into the fundamentals of business with courses such as Marketing in the Digital Era and The Business Environment, giving you a broad understanding of how markets, customers, and external factors shape businesses. Early on you also undertake Industry Skills Project, a 50-hour practicum that gives you a taste of real-world business work and helps put your learning into context.

Year 2
The second year deepens your understanding of running an organisation. In units like Accounting for Decision Making you’ll learn how financial information supports business decisions — reading reports, budgeting, and more. Meanwhile, Customer Experience Management and Developing People and Culture introduce you to customer-centric strategy and people management: you’ll learn how to map customer journeys, design better services, and foster positive workplace culture. These courses start to show how different aspects — finance, people, customers — come together to run a successful business.

Year 3
Your final year prepares you for the real business world. Through courses like Organisational Creativity & Innovation, you’ll get hands-on in designing new business ideas or improving existing ones — from scratch to pitch-ready. Strategic Management challenges you to think big: how do companies adapt in changing markets, plan long-term, and stay competitive? And finally the Industry Consulting Project gives you up to 150 hours of live-project experience, working with real clients to solve real business problems — the kind of work that bridges classroom and career.
