Diploma of Business

The Diploma of Business is your first step towards completing your Monash Business or Commerce degree. You’ll learn how to work independently, think critically and make analytical decisions, while being introduced to the business concepts and theory you'll need for University.

How the program works

You can choose your area of specialisation from day one – better preparing you for your Monash degree. There are two streams to choose between:

• Business stream – popular with students who are interested in a Business degree majoring in banking and finance, marketing or accounting. Students are also able to choose a specialist degree such as a Bachelor of International Business where they will learn to operate in international business settings and gain the skills required to do business in different countries and environments.
• Commerce stream – requires a higher level of mathematics and leads to majors in areas such as economics, finance, actuarial studies and accounting.

In part 2 you’ll study the same subjects as first-year University students and develop your specialist knowledge of business or commerce.
