This major is designed for enterprising individuals who want to start their own business or work as corporate entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs can be found in many types of workplaces. What they all have in common is ambition, hard work, an ability to think outside the box, and the love of a personal challenge.
You will study the foundations of business along with units that enhance your knowledge, skills and expertise in developing, managing and growing an entrepreneurial venture: either your own business or someone else’s business.
You will also gain skills in management, problem solving, planning, organisation and managing change. The practical approach of this major gives you the chance to interact with real entrepreneurs and receive industry experience.
Through Industry Connection students are given opportunities to experience the real business world. As a Curtin Business School student you will have opportunities to connect with successful business and community leaders, helping you gain a competitive edge, with the potential to enhance your professional prospects.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia has partnered with Curtin Business School (CBS) to offer internships to students who have completed 200 credits or more of their business degree, these internships are for course credit and provide real-world exposure to our students.
These business internships will not only give students credit towards their degree, they will receive the industry experience and practical skills needed to achieve great things after graduation and give employers the opportunity to support and lend their expertise to the students, encouraging the future workforce, whilst being assisted to meet their business goals.
