Business analysis courses

When you study online through Open Universities Australia, you can choose to enrol in a standalone subject or apply for a full degree.

In a standalone subject, you’ll spend up to 16 weeks learning about a specific topic, like business information systems analysis or data analysis for business. This is a good option if you already work in an industry role and you’d like to upskill in one area only, or if you’d like to give online study a test run. If you do decide to study a degree later on, you may be able to apply for credit for the single subjects that you complete.

To get qualified in business analysis, you should enrol in a full certificate or degree. You can become a business analyst with a qualification in IT, business management or data analytics.

We recommend comparing different university courses with our handy comparison tool. It's an easy way to evaluate business course content, study fees, entry requirements and start dates so you can figure out which qualification best suits your goals.

You can also reach out to one of our friendly student advisors if you’d like to chat about your study options in more detail.

Here at Open Universities Australia, we make enrolling online as straightforward as possible. To get started, find the course for you by browsing the options on this page. You can also compare different qualifications using our handy comparison tool, or request help from one of our student advisors.

When you’ve made your choice, click ‘Apply now’ on the relevant course page and follow the prompts to begin your enrolment. We’ll ask you to supply some supporting documentation, including proof of your identity, your tax file number, and a unique student identifier (USI) during this process.

Your university will get in touch with you via email to confirm whether or not your application has been successful.

Please note that enquiries and applications for some courses are handled directly by the university. If this is the case, it will be indicated on the course listing page.  

For more information about enrolment, read our online self-service enrolling instructions. If you get stuck at any time, reach out to us and we’ll talk you through it.

Before starting an enrolment, it’s important to read the entry requirements for your chosen course to ensure that you’re eligible to apply. If you don’t quite meet the requirements, we may be able to help you find a pathway into your course through open-entry subjects, which anyone can study.

There are a lot of reasons to study your course online through us.

• You can enrol without entry requirements 
  We have a unique open-door policy that makes it possible for everyone to enrol in university study, no matter their academic history. If you don’t meet the entry requirements for a degree, we’ll help you get in through single undergraduate subjects and transition into a qualification from there.

  Upskill without committing to a whole degree upfront. Or enrol in a full degree, but take it a subject at a time. We’ll introduce you to flexible study options you didn’t even know about, so you can fit uni around what matters to you.
• You’ll graduate with the same qualification as an on-campus student
  Once you enrol through us, you’ll study online with the university that provides your degree. This means that when you complete your qualification, you’ll graduate with the same degree as on-campus students.
