Overview
Business Administration with Arts will give you a comprehensive understanding of corporate strategy and all business functions.
In this double degree you'll combine business studies with critical thinking and communications skills.
You'll study business areas including marketing, human resources and management. You'll also choose complementary arts subjects such as politics, media and communications giving you a cutting edge in your career.
Macquarie dancers learn how to become dance artists: articulate, skilled, bold and individual.
Addressing the freedoms and strengths of contemporary dance, the program offers movement forms including hip hop, yoga, contact improvisation and social dance.
You’ll study contemporary dance techniques, choreography, music theatre, dance on screen, improvisation and history. In a final year project, dance creativity, you can dance with an independent voice, bringing a project from concept to performance and beyond.
All units offer creative possibilities, fostering independence, discipline and freedom. We measure technical improvement on an individual basis, and welcome the novice as well as the experienced dancer.
Students develop dance writing skills throughout the course, to become articulate and multi-skilled dancers.
