Duration: 3 years (full-time or part-time? equivalent)
Degree/Award: Bachelor

Program Outline

The 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.

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.

Student Profile

"Just go for it! It’s such an experience, and one worth doing!"

Ben Kaethner

Joining the family Winery was the obvious career choice for Brioni Oliver, but choosing a degree program still wasn’t that easy. She says, “There are so many degrees available it can sometimes be hard to choose one. If you aren’t sure exactly what you want to do, sometimes it helps to talk to people that are already in the industry to see what they did.”

Brioni chose to study the Bachelor of Wine Marketing and is now enjoying her role as the PR and Marketing Manager at Oliver’s Taranga Vineyards.
