Students will complete a set of eight business courses in addition to a Communication and Academic Literacy course.

Credit will be granted towards the Bachelor of Commerce,Economics or Information Systems for each of the eight 

courses achieved at a specified level, which are all equivalent to First-Year UNSW courses.

After successful completion of all nine courses, students will be awarded a Diploma of Business.In this Diploma program students will be able to experience a university environment and university life, while being supported to acquire all of the knowledge and skills needed for successful transition to undergraduate studies at UNSW.

The courses in this program are equivalent in content and outcomes to First-Year UNSW courses but the delivery pace is slower and the face-to-face contact hours are greater.

The course structure allows students to get accustomed to University learning styles - in Lectures, Tutorials and Problem-Solving Workshops - while receiving additional support, as required, for the duration of the diploma program.It is assumed that students have a certain level of knowledge in advanced mathematics in order to cope well with the mathematical or statistical component of a Business Diploma.

If you are successful in obtaining a place without this assumed knowledge, you are strongly encouraged to consider studying a Mathematics Bridging Course before starting your degree.Read More
