Diploma of Commerce

What is this course about?

CSU's Diploma of Commerce is designed to give graduates a broad range of skills to furnish good prospects in a wide range of career paths, in both private and government organisations.

The Diploma of Commerce articulates with the Bachelor of Business (specialisations) and all subjects completed in the Diploma of Commerce are credited towards the Bachelor degree.

Note: upon graduation with the Diploma of Commerce, those wishing to continue with the Bachelor of Business (specialisations) will need to apply for admission.

CSU's specialisations in the Bachelor of Business have a national reputation for excellence.

The course will help you become acquainted with the substance of business so that you can aspire to accept responsibility and learn to manage technical and organisational change. It will also provide you with skills that will help you become an effective manager, able to understand the needs of your subordinates, apply technology, and have an extensive knowledge of the political, economic and social environments.

The end result will be a depth of understanding that will help you become a successful, ethical and professionally responsible businessperson.

In the Diploma of Commerce you will study eight prescribed core subjects that enable you to sample a variety of disciplines. Students who then enrol in the Bachelor of Business will then specialise in any of the areas listed below.

Specialisations:

  • Accounting
