The Bachelor of Business (Honours) course offers qualified students the opportunity for specialised study in business at an advanced level. The Honours course is a combination of coursework and research. The course aims to provide a post-degree level of study to widen students’ knowledge in one of the specialist areas in a business-related discipline offered by Federation University. It gives students the training necessary to conduct independent high-quality research in business and academic settings, cultivates analytical and critical skills and an awareness of emerging developments in business. The Honours course has been developed as a pathway for research and study at Masters or PhD level but can also provide a competitive edge in the marketplace.
The course provides an opportunity for students to study a business-related topic of their choice in greater depth than is possible in coursework courses. It is highly valued by employers as evidence of a graduate's ability to think critically, and to work independently.
