What can I study?

Please note that some Bachelor of Business programs have program structure changes as from 2018. It is important that you read the information below before you complete the expression of interest.

How to check whether your program may be affected

  2. Scroll within the link and if you see under Program Changes that there is a Program Transition/Progression map, this means that there is a new program structure. This may mean either a course within the program has changed title or being replaced by another course. If there is no Program Changes, it means that your program structure has not changed
  3. Please download the Program Transition/Progression Map, which is an easy-to-use Excel tool, from your Enrolment Program Structure (EPS) to ensure you have the most up-to-date version
  4. You will then be able to identify the changes with the courses within your program
