About this course

The Diploma of Business (Higher Education) is a contemporary pathway of study developed in collaboration with industry and designed to meet the needs of businesses now and into the future. As markets change, businesses face the need to adapt to take advantage of new opportunities that stem from new technologies and markets. There has never been a more exciting time to study business! Within this course students are in smaller classes sizes offering individual learning opportunities through more one-on-one time with teachers.

In stage two students study accounting, economics, statistics and fundamentals of law.
