Businesses, big and small, rely on technology and information systems to operate successfully in a rapidly changing global market.

This combination of business and information technology gives you the skills to apply business principles and knowledge across the IT sector or assist businesses to implement new technological advances. You have the opportunity to explore areas of interest or develop new ones, or combine your majors to develop key skills. You could:

• combine majors in accounting and software development to create new software programs for accountants
• mix games development and marketing to help you develop and sell the next big video game
• join business information systems and business statistics to work in the growing field of data analytics.

Finance is a dynamic field, focusing on the borrowing, lending, and investing of money by individuals, financial institutions, businesses and government organisations. Finance professionals analyse and interpret information to forecast cash flows and assess risk. They make decisions that maximise financial wealth. If you are fascinated by foreign investment, exchange rates, stock market fluctuations or corporate finance, consider a finance degree.

The Diploma in Business is an important stepping-stone to achieve your career and study goals. Students who undertake this diploma will be able to gain credit for up to the first year of study and articulate into the second year of many of the bachelor degrees in business at ACU, or exit with the Diploma in Business as a standalone qualification.

Not only does our Diploma in Business have lower entry requirements than our bachelor degrees, but it will help you to develop skills needed to succeed in more advanced tertiary study.

Our Diploma in Business provides domestic students with a Commonwealth supported place (CSP-funded), and will help you achieve your goals.

We are here to support you from start to finish whether you have just finished Year 12 or finished years ago. We ensure smaller class sizes, offer tailored support as you transition to university study, and provide a range of student services to help you succeed.
