Course Curriculum

The Diploma in Business requires the completion of exactly 80 credit points, all drawn from specified foundational business units designed to build core academic and professional skills. Students study eight units, each worth 10 credit points, covering essential areas such as financial literacy, marketing, management, economics, organisational behaviour, information technology and academic literacy. A recommended starting point is the Academic Literacy in Business and Information Technology unit, which supports students in developing the communication and study skills needed for success in later subjects. The course map for students commencing in Semester 1 outlines a structured progression through the program. In the first semester of Year 1, students complete Financial Literacy, Marketing Essentials, Managing People and Organisations, and Academic Literacy in Business and Information Technology. These subjects provide a strong introduction to business fundamentals and equip students with practical skills for university learning. In the second semester, students advance to Economics: Policy Frameworks and Markets, Product Marketing and Innovation, Organisational Behaviour, and Information Technology in Action, which deepen their understanding of business environments, workplace behaviour, marketing strategy and the role of technology in modern organisations. Course maps may change over time, so students are encouraged to review the latest Course Enrolment Guide to ensure accurate planning and enrolment.
