Dr Bryce Magnussen talks about the Bachelor of Business.

Hi, my name is Dr Bryce Magnussen and I'm a marketing lecturer within the Institute of Innovation, Science and Sustainability at Federation University. My favourite part of the Bachelor of Business would be the industry placement component, and this is because of the opportunities that it presents our students. The university has good relationships with a range of businesses, which means our students can build on what they've learned their degree while getting practical experience in a variety of industries. This exposure to industry and the chance network, these are incredibly important for student pathways after university. The most interesting parts of the programme. These come from the experience and knowledge that my colleagues bring to the classroom. They're industry insights and expertise, meaning that classes have a practical relevance, and this bridges the gap between theory and practise. We see students develop those key critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will serve them well out in the industry. A real stand out of the Bachelor of Business is the learning environment, the electives that combine to make our majors. These are designed to have small tutorials, and this gives students better access to their lecturers and this makes a really great learning experience. Fun fact, one of my favourite hobbies is kayaking.

Ruby shines on her journey from student to staff

Ruby Bending-Norman thought she had no chance of going to uni. She ended up completing her Certificate III in Business traineeship early and receiving a Federation TAFE Growth Award for her commitment to personal and academic growth.  

I’d like to think … placement sets me up for success as it gives me the opportunity to show a potential employer what I can do without them having too many expectations. This could even lead to a potential job whilst I study or after I graduate. "
— Liam Byrne, Bachelor of Business
