Course structure
The University Certificate in Business Studies allows students to select subjects totalling 64 points provided the following guidelines are adhered to:
- complete eight standard subjects or their equivalent (where a standard subject is equal to one eighth of a full-time annual equivalent load)
- complete at least two thirds of the eight standard subjects (i.e. at least six out of eight subjects) in business-based or business related discipline areas approved by the Course Coordinator
- complete all eight standard business subjects by undertaking subjects taught by CSU or subjects designated as “CSU subjects” (i.e. those subjects offered under affiliation agreements between CSU and external organisations).
In order to be awarded the Bachelor of Business Studies from CSU, students are required to:
- complete 24 standard subjects or their equivalent
- complete at least two-thirds of the 24 standard subjects in business-based or business-related discipline areas approved by the Course Coordinator, including at least four subjects at Level 2 (or its equivalent) and four subjects at Level 3 (or its equivalent)
- complete at least one-third of the 24 standard subjects by taking subjects taught by CSU or subjects designated as CSU subjects (i.e. those subjects offered under affiliation agreements between CSU and external organisations)
Enrolment pattern
University Certificate/Associate Degree/Bachelor of Business Studies
Because of the flexibility of the course requirements, there is no prescribed enrolment pattern. Students may choose the order in which they undertake subjects, depending upon the availability of subjects and the meeting of any prerequisites. It is recommended, however, that students complete Level 1 subjects before completing Level 2 subjects and Level 2 subjects before completing Level 3 subjects.
Subject selection should be made in consultation with the Course Coordinator.
