Financial management teams face enormous pressure to provide strategic and timely insights for effective business decision-making. Our Honours BBA (Finance) program prepares you for this, giving you a solid grounding in business fundamentals and teaching you the operational and commercial aspects of the finance function, including investment finance.

An innovative learning model

Our Honours Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) programs feature an innovative experiential learning model that prepares you for the workplace. You won't get a lecture-style environment where you're asked to memorize content. Instead, you'll use collaboration, hands-on learning and experimentation to actively apply your knowledge and solve business problems that simulate the real world.

Creative Learning Portfolio

In our Honours BBA programs, you'll build a Creative Learning Portfolio (CLP) that helps you on your self-discovery journey — and in the job market. The CLP is an electronic portfolio that explores your passions, purpose, career and personal goals. Featuring course reflections, learning experiences and work samples, your CLP will help you showcase your skills to potential employers.

Skills employers are looking for

Today's work world has changed. Top employability skills now include critical thinking, collaboration across networks and leading by influence, communication and entrepreneurship. Our Honours BBA programs help you build these leadership capabilities and more. Equipped with workplace-relevant courses and the essential job skills employers want, you'll have the opportunity to excel in today's workplace.

Throughout the Honours BBA (Finance) program, you'll be encouraged to pursue the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation and other industry credentials, network with finance professional associations and hone your skills through industry projects and an internship.
