Canberra Business School

Learning with purpose

Located at the heart of government, our ongoing mission at the Canberra Business School is for our staff and students to continue to work closely with business, government and society in The ACT and surrounds. We provide research-led education that enables employability and work-ready business graduates. Who you know is as important as what you know, and in being a part of the school, you will join our unparalleled network of industry, professional, government, diplomatic and alumni communities located here in the nation's capital.

Pathways that fit your future

We understand that the business landscape is broad and varied and that your degree and specialisation choice doesn't need to be complicated. Our single Bachelor of Business has specialisations in Accounting, Accounting & Finance, Business Economics, Government, Human Resource Management, International Business, Management, Marketing, and Sport Management. Our new 'Government' specialisation is specifically tailored to students who wish to commence a management career in the public sector. Our MBA includes specialisations in Human Resource Management, International Business, and Marketing. You also have the flexibility of undertaking these degrees face to face at our Bruce campus, or completely online. We also have our Master of Professional Accounting which will equip you for entry into the professional accounting bodies.

Our practical and industry relevant research covers a variety of themes including Workforce, Markets and Customer Vulnerability​, Accountability and Sustainability across Business and the Public Sector​, Ethical Issues in Business Technology, and the Business of Government.

Connected to careers

Students receive a practical business education that gives them the edge in the employment market. We have an extremely successful work integrated learning program where many of our students gain employment prior to finishing their degree. Our graduate employability outcomes exceed the national average, compared to outcomes from other universities for full time employment, overall employment and median salaries for graduates.

If discipline excellence, practically and networks are what you want for your education outcome, in a city that thrives on one degree of separation, not six, I invite you to join us here at the Canberra Business School for the next stage of your education journey.
