Graduate Diploma in Business

The Graduate Diploma in Business offers eight specialisations: accounting, business analytics, enterprise resource planning, finance, marketing, management, supply chain management, and tourism, hospitality & events management.

The course is delivered via the award-winning VU Block Model®. Instead of juggling several units at once, you'll complete two units over 8 weeks if studying full-time, or just one unit if studying part-time, in workshop-style classes that build strong connections with peers and practical career skills.

Yes. After graduating from this business course, you can choose to progress to a master's degree in your chosen specialisation – with credits from the diploma to qualify sooner. Pathways exist to programs such as the Master of Professional Accounting, Master of Business Analytics, Master of Enterprise Resource Planning, Master of Finance, Master of Marketing, Master of Supply Chain Management, and Master of Tourism Hospitality and Events Management.

The Graduate Diploma in Business is a full-fee course (not government subsidised), with indicative fees of AU$34,500 per year for a full-time student. In addition to tuition fees, students will also need to pay a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).

Applicants need to meet one of the following criteria: completion of an Australian Bachelor degree (or equivalent) in any discipline; completion of an Australian Graduate Certificate (or equivalent) in a similar discipline; or a minimum of three (3) years approved work experience. Meeting the minimum admission criteria does not guarantee entry, and past academic performance may be considered.
