Foundation Studies Program (Standard) - Business (X0F:2) (0100808) + Bachelor of Business with Honours (G4F) (039208G)

Program Description The Foundation Studies program is a direct academic pathway to first-year undergraduate degree study, or an equivalent. The program acts as a bridging course for international students who wish to study a university undergraduate degree course but who don’t yet meet academic requirements and/or have the English language skills for tertiary study.

To successfully complete the program, students must achieve a 50% pass in all units, including English.

Upon successful completion of the course, graduates can enter one of the University of Tasmania’s undergraduate degree courses.

Bachelor of Business with Honours (G4F):

The Bachelor of Business with Honours degree allows students to develop a body of research-relevant knowledge, skills and experience as preparation to undertake professional research work and/ or as a pathway into a research-focused Masters degree or Doctorate in the future. Students do this by undertaking research-related coursework, executing an independent research project under the guidance of an academic supervisor, and authoring a research dissertation.

Honours candidates can undertake their thesis in the following areas: • Accounting • Accountability • Human Resource Management • Management • Marketing • Entrepreneurship and Innovation • Tourism

The aim of the honours year is to enable students to develop further their interests and research skills and to provide a foundation for postgraduate study at the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics (TSBE). For students who successfully complete this course, they may also be eligible to apply for a range of other postgraduate courses including Graduate Certificates and Graduate Diplomas and Masters, through coursework and research. The BBus (Hons) may lead to a coursework masters degree or to one or both of the research higher degrees - a Master of Commerce and /or a PhD.
