Course Description

The Diploma in Business course aims to provide an opportunity for provisional studies in units available in the Bachelor of Business course, and may enable students to progress into that course. In 2009, the course is offered on a fee-paying basis to on-shore international students. Students receive support in the form of additional tutorials, additional English language classes, close monitoring of individual student progress, and relevant non-discipline units in Australian Society and English Language Communication Skills.

A student who successfully completes four or more units in the Diploma in Business may exit with a Non-award Certificate in Business.

Opportunities for further study

Students who complete the Diploma in Business may apply for entry, with credit, into the Bachelor of Business.
