Our Bachelor of Wine Business is designed to develop knowledge and skills in winemaking, wine science, viticulture, wine appraisal and business.
A wide range of subjects mean you will acquire skills in accounting, management and marketing. Our graduates are knowledgeable, practical, job-ready and meet the highest expectations of the wine industry. This course includes hands-on experience through workplace learning.
Complete your studies while working in the wine industry, gaining both theoretical and practical experience. If you do not wish to study the advanced business element of the degree, you may choose to exit after four years of study with an Associate Degree in Winegrowing.
You can study this degree online over six years part-time, so you can continue working while you learn. You may also be able to study parts of your course on campus, and/or take more subjects in order to fast-track your degree - potentially graduating in just 4-5 years.
Charles Sturt University's presence in the wine industry is significant, with more than 1000 graduates of our wine and viticulture courses now occupying positions in the Australian and international wine industries.
When you graduate, you'll be ready to make your mark in a wide range of careers, including:
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
