About the course

Course Description:

In partnership with North China University of Water Conservancy and Electric Power, Swinburne University of Technology offers a Diploma of Business Studies.

The two-year Diploma of Business Studies has been designed as a pathway to a Swinburne degree in business and allows students to undertake the first stage of their study in China. A further two years of study is required in Australia or Malaysia to complete a Swinburne business degree.

The Diploma of Business Studies covers the full set of academic units equivalent to the first year of a business degree and provides students with one-year advanced standing into their chosen Swinburne business degree program.

In order to provide students with a smooth transition into their business degree program in Australia or Malaysia, the Diploma of Business Studies also acts as an introduction to Australian academic study styles and has major emphasis on developing the English language skills of all students. The aim of the English language component is to take students who have an IELTS band of 5.0 minimum to at least an IELTS band of 6.0 by completion of the third semester of the diploma and in the process allow students to satisfy current visa language requirements. The final semester of the Diploma of Business Studies also provides students with a transition English component to introduce students to Australian culture and way of life and the expectations of study in Australia.

Course Structure:

Students who successfully complete the Diploma of Business Studies will receive a Swinburne diploma qualification. They are also eligible for one year advanced standing in a business bachelor degree at Swinburne’s Australian or Malaysian campuses. After a further two years successful study, students are awarded their Swinburne bachelor degree.
