Overview

Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drama)

This combined degree at QUT opens up many creative and business careers.

You will graduate not only with advanced technical and creative skills but also with highly developed business knowledge.

This course is for you if you want a career that extends your performing arts knowledge into arts marketing and management, advertising and public relations or stage management. 

Previous graduates have had a dynamic impact on the development of the Australian creative industries sector, and most recent graduates are at the heart of the exciting growth in the independent theatre sector in Australia. 

The flexible nature of the course means you can combine creative experiences in performance-making with theoretical studies. 

This will allow you to get the most from classroom learning as you connect with contemporary performance nationally and globally.  

You will also develop business skills across various majors to ensure your degree is tailored to you.

You can choose one major from business in accounting, advertising, economics, behavioural economics, finance, financial planning, human resource management, international business, management, entrepreneurship and innovation, marketing, or public relations.

You can submit your application without choosing a major by selecting the “Any Business Major/Drama” option.
