The
objectives of the University Preparation Program
- Diploma of Business Administration course are to
develop well-rounded business executives who are
equipped to solve problems within a
multi-disciplinary business environment. It also
allows students to pursue their own interests in
which are essentially business degree programs. They
will graduate with the skills and knowledge which we
expect to be in high demand as Singapore enters the
next century. Graduates find careers in general
management, and in the fields of accounting,
finance, human resource management, marketing and/or
an extension in their existing professional areas in
engineering, computing etc.
For those
students that have successfully completed the University Preparation
Program: Diploma of Business Administration and would like to continue
their studies in Canberra campus, they can also pursue other degree
programs (for examples,
Bachelor of Business Informatics, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor
of Economics, Bachelor of Management, Bachelor of Sport Management or
Bachelor of Communication (Advertising and Marketing Communication,
Public
Relations, etc). The advanced standing in the selected degree
program will depend on the Grade Point Average (GPA).
Course Structure
The
University Preparation Program - Diploma of
Business Administration program is an intensive
coursework and assignment program. It consists of 8
core subjects. The advantage of this approach is to
allow you to combine the learning of specific skills
needed for success at university level study with an
introduction to the proposed university degree.
