BBA or MBA from an Australian University could help you in enhancing your career prospects in the field of Marketing, Finance or Sales. However, New Zealand or Australian Universities do offer comprehensive BBA & MBA courses. Monash in Australia, Schulich in Canada, LSE, UK are some of the very famous universities/ colleges for BBA & MBA. However, For the benefits of students passing out of school in 2020 and wishing to do BBA from Canada or Australia, it is advisable to study in an Indian college this year that offers an international degree for its BBA programme. You may study at the Indian college for this year and next year after the pandemic ends you can take a transfer to the university/ college of your choice or the partner College. For example, IILM, New Delhi offers BBA in association with Monroe College, New York. The students get an opportunity to realize their study abroad dreams wherein they receive an internationally accredited degree in India itself. Students will be registered at Monroe College in New York on taking admission at IILM. Students will have access to the Learning Management System of Monroe College and to their student community.

By course, I am assuming that you mean a major field of study, or curriculum and not a specific class. The answer to the second part of your question is a resounding YES.
Most commercial airlines require an associates degree at a minimum to get hired on with almost all of the major airlines requiring a bachelors degree. It doesn't matter if your degree is in underwater basket weaving, a degree is a degree and it checks off the box for the requirement.
Specialized degrees, such as aviation business degrees are a great bonus, but won't necessarily get you a job with an airline. They also limit you down the road if you have an epiphany and realize that you hate flying. Now you have to redo a bunch of course work that probably won't transfer to another field or degree. I would pursue what you enjoy in a field of study and see if there is a way you can tie it into aviation. Something like electronics engineering with a specialty or minor in aviation comes to mind.
The one specific thing that you can do to help to become an airline pilot is to start flying as soon as possible. As I have eluded to in other answers, while having a degree may be a mandate to getting hired on with the airlines, having the 1500 flight hours is also a requirement (there are some exeptions to this rule). You could take every college level aviation course out there, and if you don't have flight time, you will be stuck doing something else other than flying for sure. Whether you do the flight training in conjunction with your college course work, or attend a flying school not affiliated with your college is up to you, and both have their strengths and weaknesses.
