Associate Degree of Business

The Associate Degree of Business is the perfect way to start studying business at uni. The Associate Degree is a qualification in its own right, and you can stop there if you want to, but it is also a pathway to a Bachelor degree. This means that the 16 courses (subjects) that you study can count towards a Bachelor degree.

You will complete eight core business courses and then choose from an array of business courses which interest you including accounting, human resource management, marketing and international business.

It is best to have a chat to our Student Relationship Officers before finalising your decision on courses. If you are considering continuing onto a Bachelor degree, your choice of courses may have an impact later.
