With the disruptions in the digital world transforming how people think about learning and work, you can now easily study a Bachelor of Business at your own pace and convenience.
What does a Bachelor of Business actually offer?

Now more than ever, people are looking for ways to advance their careers without impacting their daily lives and existing jobs. To keep up with the changing expectations many universities and education start-ups (like US-based Udacity) are moving into the online space, with varying degrees of success.
RMIT Online recently launched its first Bachelor of Business degree. Delivered 100 per cent online, you can easily step away from the traditional business degree approach and choose majors, minors and courses that suit your specific requirements, all around your timetable. So, there’s no need to compromise on your work or lifestyle.
By studying a Bachelor of Business degree online, you will be able to complete courses whenever and wherever you are.
When you compare it to traditional, on campus delivery models, online education has the potential to revolutionise the bachelor degree as we know it.
Here’s five reasons why you should choose to study a Bachelor of Business online:
1. Online, on your time.
With no set schedule, you can study in your own time and take anywhere from three to 10 years to complete your degree. This means you can earn your degree alongside other commitments such as work or hobbies, so you will still be earning an income, advancing your career and making the most of your free time, too! The flexibility to study on your terms means you can be learning on your lunch break or at night on your couch. You can also change, pause or accelerate your course load to make sure it won’t interfere with your responsibilities at home or work.
2. Study from anywhere.
Studying online allows you to define the study path and speciality areas that suit you at the click of a button. You are also free to choose your own learning environment – it doesn’t matter if it’s your bedroom, your office, the local library or the coffee shop near you. With an online course, you have easy access to a multitude of online materials and references all at your fingertips. If you have an internet connection, you’re ready to go!
3. Learn with a community, build a real network.
As you learn from real-world business cases and gain access to world-renowned academics with industry experience, you can improve your cross-cultural understanding and problem-solving skills. Just like a traditional on campus degree, you will graduate with a cohort, and many online courses have students from all around Australia and internationally, which will open you up to many new business and networking opportunities.
4. Master your technical skills.
By studying online, you will learn how to effectively collaborate remotely using communication tools, project management resources and content management systems, as well as gain exposure to digital learning tools, materials and software. Online learning also offers more than just flexibility around how and when you study, but also what you study. RMIT Online allows you to focus on specialties such as marketing, business analytics and more.
5. Future-proofing your career
By choosing to invest in yourself with a Bachelor of Business, you are also future-proofing your career: A recent report states that by 2025, Australia will need 156,000 new digital technology workers, and that already 87 per cent of jobs require digital literacy skills. By upskilling in innovative and emerging areas like cyber security, blockchain and digital leadership, you are not only filling the skills gaps in your resume – you are keeping yourself employable well into the digital future.
As the business world continues to evolve, it’s important to ensure that you’re equipped with the right knowledge, capabilities and connections. With a Bachelor of Business degree to back you up, you can upgrade your skills and qualifications while gaining a strong competitive edge.
Fortunately, the availability of an online degree makes learning work for you.
