- Program Outline
This is an online program and international students are not eligible to apply for a student visa.
The Graduate Diploma in Business is designed for students from all academic backgrounds who wish to gain a solid foundation in business education (including exposure to economics, accounting, finance, marketing and management). It also allows students the ability to focus on a specific area of business specialisation (international business, strategic marketing or management) that suits their career goals.
For students who have no background in tertiary business studies, this program provides an excellent foundation in business skills, necessary for career progression in many public and private organisations.
A global perspective is embedded into each course with real life case studies and examples, lecturers with international experience, and specialty courses focused on international business environments (for example, international marketing and international human resource management).
For further information on admissions, please visit the Master of Business (Online) site.
