Whether you travel the world for international business, enter the finance field or launch a marketing agency — a career in business means opportunities. It’s up to you which one you chase, but no matter your goal, we can help you reach it. And with us, you’ll get more than your usual business degree. You’ll learn how to act in business to create positive and sustainable change.
Our degrees are flexible so you can make the calls around your career. Study accounting, finance, business administration, commerce, event management, human resource management, information technology, management or marketing. You can even tailor your career with minors such as data analytics, entrepreneurship, Indigenous business studies, international business or occupational health, safety and environment.
If you don’t meet the state-based requirements for entry into your degree, you still have options. There are lots of ways into ACU. Explore our pathways to get started.

Books, fees, living expenses – costs can be a factor when considering study. But it shouldn’t stop you from pursuing your goals.
Luckily, we offer a range of scholarships to commencing and continuing students. They recognise everything from rewarding academic achievement to supporting equality. And with nearly 400 scholarships on offer, and the opportunity to apply for as many as you like, it pays to check your eligibility.
We believe great work that makes a positive impact should be recognised – and rewarded. So if you are regularly volunteering, we invite you to apply for our Community Achiever Program (CAP). If you are accepted into the program, you’ll receive an offer into an undergraduate degree as early as August. And you’ll become part of ACU’s CAP community.
