Bachelor of Business
Holmes Institute, Multi-campus (Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast), Australia
About this program
The Bachelor of Business at Holmes Institute is a three year degree covering management, strategy, marketing, economics and international business, with the option to add one of seven specialisations (Information Systems, Accounting, Marketing, Aviation Management, Management, Digital Business or Hospitality Management). The course runs across Holmes's Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Gold Coast campuses with five intakes a year (March, May, July, September and November), so students who miss a start date rarely wait long. Teaching mixes case studies, simulations and assessments designed to mirror real workplace problems rather than pure lecture theory, and the final year includes a capstone Integrated Business Management Project.
Graduates typically move into roles such as business analyst, marketing coordinator, HR officer, operations supervisor or project coordinator, with longer term progression toward business development manager, HR manager, strategy consultant or general manager roles. As a smaller private higher education provider rather than a large public university, Holmes leans on small class sizes and direct lecturer access as its main point of difference, and the specialisation structure lets students bolt on a second area (for example Accounting or Digital Business) without switching degrees.
