Higher Education Diploma

Diploma of Business

A one-year foundation in accounting, marketing and management principles — built to carry full credit into Year 2 of a Federation University Australia business degree.

The Diploma of Business gives you a full year of grounding across the core disciplines of commerce — accounting, marketing, economics and management — before you specialise. Classes are held on our Curepipe campus and taught to the same standard expected in Year 1 and 2 of the Bachelor of Business, so the transition into degree study is seamless rather than a leap. Most students use the Diploma as a direct, credit-bearing route into either the Accounting or Marketing & Management stream of the Bachelor.

  • Small class sizes with direct access to teaching staff
  • Assessment style modelled on Bachelor-level expectations
  • Guaranteed, full-credit entry into Year 2 of the Bachelor of Business
  • Study support and academic advising included throughout the year

Six core units delivered across two semesters, covering the disciplines that underpin every business specialisation.

  • Accounting Principles
  • Marketing Fundamentals
  • Business Communication
  • Microeconomics
  • Management Principles
  • Business Law

On successful completion, graduates receive full credit into Year 2 of the Bachelor of Business, choosing either the Accounting or Marketing & Management specialisation — with no units to repeat and no time lost.
