Business for a Better World.

Why study Business?

For years, the corporate world has focused on growth over good. But today, people expect more - and so do we.

Our Business degrees at Flinders University address modern-day challenges by putting innovation and social responsibility at their heart. We want corporations to employ smarter, more responsible and increasingly sustainable technologies and processes, and to embrace the notion that ‘doing good’ doesn’t have to come at the expense of the bottom line.

Through our close connections with industry, our teaching programs, placement opportunities and our reimagined, innovative undergraduate and postgraduate offerings, we arm our graduates with the business skills they need to do good – to create change in the corporate world, and in doing so, change the world for the better.
