  • Program Outline

    Students may elect to undertake the Bachelor program in internal or external mode. 

    Internal program: The internal program advances knowledge of wine markets, wine consumers and the value chain for wine. Students develop skills to turn this knowledge into decisions and actions that produce results in the marketplace, and to function in an exciting and fast changing environment by recognising and exploiting developing trends.  Graduates are prepared for careers in marketing or business management in the wine industry, or related industries such as tourism, food and hospitality.

    External program: The external program establishes a solid business and marketing foundation, but in addition caters for the particular demands of the global wine trade, and the unique features of wine industries and wine as a product: including distinctive consumer behaviour and marketing channels, peculiar legal requirements, and a product which requires specialised knowledge to market.  

     

  • Program Structure
    The program establishes a solid business and marketing foundation but in addition caters for the particular demands of the global wine trade, and the unique features of wine industries and wine as a product: including distinctive consumer behaviour and marketing channels, peculiar legal requirements, and a product which requires specialised knowledge to market. Courses in grape growing and wine making practices are an important component of this program, and emphasise how these practices translate into sensory and other product characteristics. These courses include extensive technical wine tasting to develop capacity to evaluate wines critically in terms of style and quality. The program concludes with capstone courses in wine marketing, covering the global wine market and winery business management, integrating knowledge, principles, theories, and methods learned in previous courses. Students can tailor their programs with choices from a range of elective courses in areas such as wine tourism, wine retail and distribution management, and database marketing.
