Degree Courses
Courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Business are provided in Accountancy, Communication, Health Administration, Management and Public Administration.
Accountancy The Accountancy Course is designed to provide education appropriate to the needs of the accountancy profession, having regard to the requirements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, the Australian Society of Accountants, the Public Accountants Registration Board of Queensland, and the Australian Computer Society.
The course includes studies based on accounting, law, economics and statistics. Modern accountants are confronted with the problems of complex manufacturing processes, advances in the techniques of processing information, and the increasing size of businesses and their financial transactions. They may specialise in auditing, financial analysis, systems investigations and installations, electronic data processing, taxation services, management services, office management or financial administration.
The B.Bus. qualification in Accountancy is recognised by the Australian Society of Accountants as satisfying the academic requirements for admission as a provisional member of the Society.
Provided appropriate subjects have been selected the course is recognised by -
one the Public Accountants' Registration Board of Queensland as satisfying the academic requirements for registration;
two the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, as a pre-requisite for the 'Professional Year';
three the Australian Society of Accountants as satisfying the academic requirements for admission as an Associate member;
four the Australian Computer Society as satisfying the academic requirements for admission to the grade of member.
Communication The Communication Course is designed to provide a broad education for those who wish to work at executive level in business, government, or industry, with particular regard to the requirements of Advertising, Public Relations, and Journalism. Additionally, students may develop viable programmes in Audio-Visual Communication, Communication Research, and Professional Communication, to enable them to function as specialists throughout a broad spectrum of communication activities.
The Communication Course is based on a thorough understanding of communication theory and the communication process, and on the effective application of the tenets of oral and written communication. Basic units in Sociology and Media Study, as well as Literary and Cultural Studies are also required. Beyond the required units students select a sequence of professional subjects related directly to future employment.
Graduates of the course who specialise in Advertising are recognised by the Australian Institute of Advertising, those in Public Relations by the Public Relations Institute of Australia.
Health Administration
The Health Administration Course is designed to provide education for those employed in the health services industry. The course is offered on a part-time, internal basis and on an external studies basis.
On completion of twenty subjects from the B.Bus. - Health Administration course, studients are eligible for Licentiate Membership of the Australian College of Health Service Administrators. On completion of the course together with five year's experience in hospital administration, graduates are eligible for Associate Membership of the College.
Health Administration in Australia is rapidly undergoing a great deal of change. Not only are hosptials re-assessing their role and activity in the community, but medical practitioners are also evaluating their place in a national health care scheme. This course is designed for the health
services administrator, embracing personnel who are known variously as health administrator, hospital manager, chief executive officer, hospital superintendent, medical administrator and by a variety of general management titles.
In addition, however, the course has been designed specifically to cover
Health service administrators at all levels in Federal and State Government Health Departments and authorities, hospitals, community health centres, health planning and financing agencies and voluntary health organisations.
Medical practitioners whose practices are developing and growing into mult·disciplinary community health centres where administrative and managerial expertise becomes vital to the smooth functioning of the practice.
All other professions related to the health service industry including nursing and paramedical practitioners.
In the final analysis, health service delivery can be properly integrated with other welfare systems in Australia only through administrative mechanisms and skills in areas such as planning, policy development, leadership, organisation, management, communication and human relations. This course has been designed specifically to produce graduates who have these talents.
Management The Management Course is designed to provide education appropriate to the needs of the management profession, having regard to the requirements of professional bodies.
The course prepares students to accept responsibilities at the mid-level of the structure of the organisation and depending upon their own abilities, to proceed to the upper levels of managerial responsibility. A grounding in the theory and practice of management, human relations, economics, and the use of statistics is the basis of thb course. From the second year students elect to emphasise one of three major strands within the course, viz. Management Economics, Marketing, Personnel Management/ Psychology. These strands enable detailed attention to special subject areas including operations management, business economics, international economics, transportation economics, personnel management/psychology, applied psychology, counselling, organisational development, industrial relations, marketing research and professional marketing practice. In addition to choice of strands students also have the opportunity to choose additional strand electives, and three general electives from other subjects offered within the Department and/or outside the Department in subjects of value to the student. The skills in management which this well balanced course provides should serve as the cornerstone for achievement in the ranks of professional managers. Students graduating from this course will be able to apply their acquired knowledge and skills very quickly in industry and commerce.
Where certain specified elective subjects have been included in the degree, the holder of the B.Bus. qualification in Management is recognised as having completed the academic requirements for corporate membership of the following professional institutions:
Australian Institute of Management Australian Institute of Training and Development Institute of Personnel Management Australia Queensland Counsellors Association The Chartered Institute of Transport
Public Administration The Public Administration Course is designed to provide education compatible with a career in the public sector.
Offering a wide array of challenging opportunities, the public sector requires virtually every type of skill, specialised academic knowledge, and practical expertise, to fulfil its ever growing range of activities. A fundamental need exists for administrators with logical, analytical reasoning powers, an appreciation of their political environment, a thorough knowledge and understanding of the governmental administrative machinery and processes, personnel management skills, a basic grounding in economics, the ability to communicate concisely and effectively, and the capacity for sustained application. The course prepares students in these ways with particular emphasis on the machinery of government at the National and the Queensland State levels. As well the student is introduced to the fields of Accountancy, Information Systems, Law and Statistics. The course programme includes six elective subjects selected by the student so as to provide him with advanced level study in one of the abovementioned disciplines appropriate to his career.
Close links are maintained with the Royal Institute of Public Administration (Queensland Regional Group) which welcomes students to its membership ranks. The holder of the B.Bus. qualification in Public Administration will find employment in the Commonwealth Public Service, the Queensland Public Service, Local Government, and Statutory Authorities.
Associate Diploma Course
The Associate Diploma in Business Course requires two years of full-time study or four years part-time study. The course is designed specifically to meet the needs of advancing technology at the senior clerical and supervisory level, having regard to the requirements of the Institute of Affiliate Accountants, and the Australian Computer Society. This course will prepare students for employment as support staff in a wide range of commercial activities in the accounting, computer, administrative, supervisory, personnel and marketing functions.
General Subjects for other Schools of the Institute are conducted by staff from each of the major sections of the School of Business Studies.
A continuing education programme allows students who have completed a course to enrol in additional subjects at that level as an 'Unregistered' student, or to enrol in another course leading to a further qualification.
All courses within the School of Business Studies are in line with the educational philosophy of the Queensland Institute of Technology which is to provide students with practical training as well as an understanding of the concepts and principles underlying subjects and disciplines. In all courses the School aims at developing a professional attitude to study and work by encouraging individual thought and initiative, experience in group situations and emphasis upon wide reading and research.
The School of Business Studies seeks to give its students an awareness of the Business environment and endeavours to equip them with analytical decision-making skills and an understanding of human behaviour, organisation and management that will assist them to attain their highest potential in the profession of their choice.
Students proposing to join a professional body after graduation should ensure that the course programme they select is appropriate to particular membership requirements.

Chaplain ......... Tedd Dunglison (Ecumenical Chaplain - Anglican)
The Chaplaincy Centre is Ecumenical and available to members of all religious faiths to make the drop-in room the centre point of worship, discussion, clarification and search. The Centre will foster and encourage formation and growth of religious study groups.
The Centre exists to help staff and students take a great deal of responsibility for their own decisions and be free enough inside to use this power to give and to serve; and in so doing, to discover Christ in their neighbour and Christ's living-dying-living power in themselves.
The Centre seeks to strengthen the Christian Community at the Institute and enable it to express its spirituality forcefully and in a generative way. To develop a Eucharistic Community the Chapel is always open for private prayer. Eucharist (Mass) service times will be advertised on notice boards in the Chaplaincy Centre.

INFORMATION FOR EXTERNAL STUDENTS
Enrolment
Approx. Formal Hrs/wk.

3 6
In the Bachelor of Business - Health Administration external course, preference will be given to applicants who reside outside the Brisbane Statistical Region.
A student who is offered a place in the 0.1.T. external Health Administration quota normally studies the specialist Health Administration subjects by means of an external (correspondence) course from the 0.1.T. The student will undertake equivalents of most business management subjects from another tertiary institution, usually the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education. (The 0.1. T. does not offer most of the business management subjects externally.)
Students will receive with their offer of a place in the 0.1.T. Health Administration quota, enrolment forms for relevant subjects at either Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education and/or 0.1.T.
0.1.T. external students may enrol for most of the business management subjects as an internal or external student at any other tertiary institution. However, they should ensure that the subjects in which they intend to enrol are acceptable equivalents to subjects in the Health Administration degree. Details of subjects which are equivalent to Health Administration degree subjects and the institutions at which they are offered are available from 0.1.T.
0.1.T. Health Administration Subjects
In the case of the Health Administration specialist subjects, external students are normally taught and assessed by the same lecturers and tutors as internal students and follow a,subject programme which is comparable to that of internal students.
External students receive appropriate exercises, assignments and dates by which completed exercises and assignments must reach the lecturer. They also receive an external student's Study Guide in each subject. This summarises the subject and indicates the order in which the prescribed material is to be studied and the pages of the prescribed textbook which should be read and noted. Video tapes or audio tapes may be issued on some important and difficult areas of the subject. The Study Guide will contain references to such tapes. Where the lecturer in charge of the subject wishes external students to study material to which they cannot otherwise be expected to have access, that material is normally included in or sent with the Study Guide.
133
External students who live within a reasonable distance of a centre such as Toowoomba, Rockhampton or Townsville, may attend regular sessions at an institution such as the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education or the Capricornia Institute of Advanced Education, or a tertiary institution in Townsville, at which tapes may be played and discussions held. These tapes, specially prepared for external students, concern important and difficult areas of each subject. If a student lives too far away from such a centre to be able to attend the sessions, audio cassette tapes of the same lectures may be borrowed for use on any normal cassette player.
It is planned to have external course co-ordinators for Townsville, Rockhampton, Toowoomba and similar areas. Apart from arranging the regular sessions for students in the area, the course co-ordinator will provide liaison between students and lecturer. However, the student is always able to contact his lecturer directly.
Formal examinations will be held at a number of country centres.
Other Subjects
For non-0.1.T. subjects, external students are required to comply with the course work and assessment requirements of the particular institution where they are enrolled.
Residential Schools
For some subjects, attendance at a Residential School may be required. These schools will be held at Toowoomba, Brisbane or a similar centre. Details of these schools will be sent to students.
Orientation
A special one or two day Orientation Attendance School for External Students is planned in Orientation Week. This will include a library course and a library exercise, together with lectures and seminars on how to write assignments. Those attending the school will be able to meet staff, to buy the prescribed textbooks and reference books from the Institute Bookshop, and to collect their course material.
