It’s amazing how often we don’t follow our passions. We start with good intentions, but real life can throw a spanner into the works, particularly when it comes to our dream careers. We intend to study, and to build our skills, but then we get a job and just… stay there. Kids come along, or promotions, or any one of a thousand things that distract us from our dreams.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can follow your passions, and head for success. And let’s face it, if your passion is wine, you already have a head start.

A premium career

Study the business behind the bottle

“You can take the whole degree online and of course we offer the full degree face-to-face" explains the Professor Roberta Crouch, Director of Wine Business Programs at Flinders University.   "We didn’t want to make it so focused in just one aspect of the sector so we thought about where people need employment across hospitality, wine spirits and craft beer, tourism and special attention to importing and exporting.  We’ve oriented this degree around business.”
