Why study an online business degree? It’s a Win-Win.

Studying a business degree online allows you to gain a competitive advantage in your career without having to uproot your life.

An online business degree is the answer for students who are unable or unwilling to move geographically to attend lectures on campus, or for professionals who are already in the workplace but who want to upskill and study further.

“Studying business is a fantastic option as it opens up a world of opportunity for students given the broad range of subjects studied and significant range of electives available to students. A business degree is highly transferrable across industries, roles and organisations and doesn’t pigeon hole you like some qualifications do,” Philip Watson, ICMS Vice President (Domestic and International Development), said.

“Often we find that those who study business already have a keen eye for business, or are already actively involved in industry, so the flexibility of online study means you can still maintain your business edge whilst also getting ahead academically. It is a win-win.”

At ICMS, you can study an ICMS Bachelor of Business degree fully online, with the option of completing your ICMS Work Integrated Learning (WIL) industry training in your current location*.

“Online means that you don’t need to be in Sydney to get the benefits that ICMS gives all of their students. You can be located anywhere and still get the same access to the full ICMS Bachelor of Business experience – including our global network of businesses and alumni,” Watson said.
