Important notes
1. A Bachelor of Business degree requires
360 credit points (24 units) to graduate.
Each unit is worth 15 credit points
2. The units a student completes in the
Diploma and year 2 of the Bachelor of
Business are approved as advanced
standing units into the third year of
the Bachelor of Business.
3. The maximum number of year 1 and
year 2 units students can use for
advanced standing when commencing
year 3 is 16. This may mean students
who have been granted exemptions
from previous study may not be
able to use all these exemptions
towards their degree.
4. Completion of the compulsory units
in Years 1, 2, 3 means students will
achieve 255 credit points (17 units).
Students will need to take additional
units to achieve the required 360 credit
points (24 units). As the maximum
number of Advanced Standing
units is set at 16, this means single
major students will be required to
complete and pass eight (8) year 3
units to be eligible for the award of
the Bachelor of Business.
