One size does not fit all, especially when it comes to learning and education — which is why AUT students can build their own degree programme and choose majors and minors from different disciplines.
As part of several AUT bachelor’s degrees, students can choose two majors, or take the opportunity to explore more subjects with a mix of one major and two minors, or a major with one minor and electives.
In the Bachelor of Business, Ethics, Responsibility and Sustainability is one of several core courses in the degree and then students get to choose from majors spanning from finance to human resources and international business.
Minors give students the chance to study an even broader range of subjects, spanning art and design, communications, computing, health sciences, hospitality, language and culture, science, social sciences, and sport and recreation.
Third-year Bachelor of Business student Camila Roa-Nunez chose a marketing major and event management minor and says she really values the breadth of skills she is developing through the programme.
“As a result of my studies, I’ve had the opportunity to intern for the music event Rhythm and Vines and concert promoter Live Nation, which had been a dream of mine for a very long time. My marketing skills along with my understanding of event management have been extremely useful when doing projects.”
Creating flexible degree programmes has other benefits too, according to Barry Brunette, Director of Business Undergraduate Programmes.
“Many of our undergraduate students come straight from high school, and are faced with figuring out what they think their future career will be and making some big choices about what to study. Giving students the ability to explore different subject areas can ultimately help them find a career that is really interesting and meaningful to them.”
The Bachelor of Business is currently one of seven AUT programmes offering students this added flexibility to tailor their degree.
