about the school of business
About Us
The School of Business was established in 2005, replacing the previous School of Economics and Management.
The School provides degree programs in Business and in Management Studies for both undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) studies.
The Bachelor of Business is a streamlined specialisation in the field of business. The School also provides courses as electives for the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science, and teaches intensive courses in the RAAF Professional Education Program, the Capability & Technology Management College (CTMC) and the Australian Command and Staff College (ACSC).
Postgraduate coursework programs are available for the Master of Business, Graduate Diploma of Business and the Graduate Certificate of Business. These programs are flexible in that apart from a common core, no specialisation is required to qualify with GradDp or Masters degree. Students wishing to specialise in project management may also undertake coursework study toward a Master of Project Management (to begin 2011). The School is accredited by the Project Management Institute (PMI) Global Accreditation Center.
The School has an active research program in the fields of economics, management, psychology, finance and accounting. Staff are also involved in interdisciplinary research projects.
The School aims to provide a supportive and friendly environment for the many students who take its courses - at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, on campus and in distance education modes. Staff strive to help students understand the forces shaping modern economies, how to handle and work with them as managers, and how to lead the way for change. The School's lively research program gives freshness to its teaching and enriches knowledge in the disciplines in which it works.
