Career pathways

Course structure

With the Diploma in Business, you'll develop numeracy, literacy, interpersonal, communication, critical thinking and problem-solving skills while studying courses of your choice.*

We help you identify what courses match your interests and will help you achieve your career goals.

Students who have narrowly missed UE can use the Diploma in Business to transition into the Bachelor of Business. If you successfully complete this pathway, you can credit 120 points toward your first year of the Bachelor of Business.

Courses include

You'll also choose two elective courses from subjects like accounting, economics, information systems, entrepreneurship and innovation, finance, law, marketing and management. We recommend that you align your elective courses with your intended Bachelor of Business major or minor to make it easy for you to transition into the second year of the Bachelor of Business.

If you have UE, you can enter the Diploma in Business general pathway. You'll choose eight 15-point courses from the Bachelor of Business, subject to approval of the programme leader.

We'll work with you to choose courses that best match your interests and goals.
