Diploma of Business
The Diploma of Business is a uniquely positioned, higher education Diploma designed for those who are seeking to develop practical skills to succeed in business, while developing the knowledge and academic skills necessary to succeed in further study at University.
The Diploma provides an alternative to the first year of a Bachelor of Business as well as providing valuable business acumen and skills for those seeking to enter or re-enter the workforce, start your own business or innovate within an existing business.
You will complete 8 foundation business discipline subjects including business communication, management, marketing, data analysis, economics, accounting and law. These core disciplines are contextualised using a virtual business, providing students with an opportunity to understand how these concepts apply in a contemporary Small to Medium-sized Enterprise (SME). This application ensures the course is relevant, and that students acquire both a theoretical understanding of the disciplines as well as tangible skills which can be immediately applied in a workplace setting.
You will also develop important generic skills required to succeed both in university study and a global business environment including academic and digital literacy, numeracy, critical thinking, analytical evaluation, independent learning and working collaboratively. RBS graduates will also have developed entrepreneurial intelligence and the ability to execute – skills which characterise The Sarina Russo Group and are needed in the current and future workforce.
