Areas of study

The Australian School of Business is one of Australia's leading business schools. Our undergraduate and postgraduate business degree programs give you access to a wide range of study areas, from Accounting to Actuarial Studies, and from International Business to Management, Marketing and Taxation.

Accounting

Accounting is an exciting, evolving field. Learn how to advise businesses on the cost of their products and services, and influence their success in an increasingly competitive world. Find new ways to cut expenditure, waste and overuse. And become an expert on profiting, investing and expanding in any market.

Actuarial studies

It’s said to be one of the most in-demand professions of the future… and it’s easy to see why. With an Actuarial Studies qualification, you could advise some of the world’s biggest businesses on how to reduce their risk. You’ll learn how to apply mathematics, statistics, accounting, economics and finance to make a positive difference in the business world.

Business strategy

Strategy is the backbone of business. It’s what guides us to make better business decisions and achieve success. Our business strategy streams will equip you with sharp strategic skills. You’ll assess the impact of strategy on business growth, underemployment, inflation, income distribution, industrial organisation and much more.

Business technology

It’s hard to imagine a world without technology. It allows us to create, innovate and work more effectively. By studying business technology, you can become a dynamic leader who understands the possibilities and pitfalls of technology in the workplace.

Business Law

Business law

Business can be a legal battlefield. So how can businesses compete in an increasingly regulated world? As an in-demand business law graduate, you’ll be able to expertly answer this question for any organisation.

Economics

It’s an exciting time to study economics. Every day, businesses fold while others flourish; countries thrive while others battle unemployment and poverty. What causes these circumstances? How do our choices and those of our governments influence the economy? As an economics graduate, you’ll be in high demand as businesses seek to compete and succeed in a tough global market.

Finance

Finance is a fascinating field. Discover the concepts of pricing and learn how to choose investments and successfully manage financial assets. You could go on to advise individuals and businesses on how to best manage money and make wise financial decisions.

Human resource management

Business success is about more than just numbers. The world’s best businesses know how to hire, train and retain proficient and passionate people. Human resource management (HRM) will steer you towards a successful career managing people in the workplace. You could even specialise as a savvy human resources consultant or project manager.

Information systems

Every business needs systems to survive and thrive. Learn how to analyse, design and maintain systems to help a corporation achieve its goals. You’ll become skilled at implementing IT systems in the workplace.

International business

We live in the age of the borderless business. Many firms conduct business on a global scale and sell to customers around the world. How do they do this successfully? And how do international markets shape economies, policies and cultures?.

Management

What makes a good manager? How can you get the best out of your people? What are the best ways to achieve and exceed business goals? Learn how to lead and discover how to organise, strategise and find new ways to reach targets. You’ll emerge equipped with the tools to succeed in all kinds of fast-paced, evolving environments.

Marketing

Within every booming business there is a dynamic marketing team. If you’d like to build brands and find creative ways to engage customers and communicate with stakeholders, a marketing qualification can get you there. You’ll learn how to pinpoint consumer’s needs and desires, analyse markets and develop a toolkit of marketing techniques and models.

Risk management

We live in an uncertain world, so it’s no wonder risk management experts are in demand. Equip yourself with the tools and skills to advise businesses on managing risk. Tap into the latest industry thinking and specialise by choosing a specific stream: Quantitative Risk, Business Operations, or Policy and Compliance.

Social impact

The world needs a new type of leader. Our social impact programs teach future entrepreneurs and social managers how to inspire organisations in all sectors: corporate, government and not-for-profit. You’ll learn how to lead in the changing world by creating social and environmental value.

Taxation

Taxation can be a complex business. That’s why graduates who understand the impact of taxation on the modern business are highly valued. You’ll delve into tax issues and investigate how they affect business decisions such as financing, offshore expansion and employees’ retirement plans.
