Graduation from the Associate Degree in Applied Business can provide an entry opportunity for those who have not worked in business settings, accelerate progression through a graduate's present organisation, or open up new career paths and opportunities.
The Associate Degree in Applied Business is for future leaders and managers who want to learn the knowledge and skills required to make it in the modern business world. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or an assistant manager looking to step up to the next level, this program is a great stepping stone to a new or accelerated career.

The program combines core business units covering areas such as management, finance, marketing, human resources, project management, entrepreneurial and innovative thinking, and business planning with a choice of streams and electives in students’ areas of interest. The course content has been developed in consultation with industry experts and they are actively involved in its delivery.

The first year serves as a foundation year, where you will learn the skills to apply your new business knowledge to a range of situations. In the second year, you’ll be extended to supervisory level as a practitioner.

A key feature of the course is the focus on hands-on learning, where you will develop knowledge and skills through experiential education opportunities such as industry placements, fieldwork, case studies and data-driven decision making. This aims to enhance students’ problem solving, communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership skills by assisting you to ‘learn through practice’. It has been designed to make university study a little less daunting, and a lot more practical.

In this course, you can choose from the following streams:

  • Business Improvement

Course CoordinatorRené Kling
  • 1 Apply and reflect on business knowledge, skills, behaviours, and attributes to develop and enhance career opportunities
  • 2 Apply and communicate business processes and strategies within the contemporary business environment to improve organisational outcomes
  • 3 Communicate evidence-based recommendations for business improvement to a range of audiences
  • 4 Demonstrate adaptability, digital capability, and entrepreneurial and innovative thinking to enable continuous business improvement
  • 5 Model the principles of sustainable business practice and resource management through ethical and professional conduct within a collaborative framework
  • In this course you will be exposed to authentic and engaged learning experiences designed to develop your understanding of work and the workplace. In the first year of study, you'll be introduced to:

    • Different methods of and approaches to practice;
    • How issues such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership are reflected in the workplace and;
    • The role of reflection and deliberative thinking in developing workplace-based knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations.

    Through this course, you will have the opportunity to develop and maintain your portfolio of practice (known as a Practice Manual). This is reflected in educational plans developed in consultation with your Academic Coaches and based on a method or approach to practice from projects, data-driven decision making, case studies, field work, simulated environments, and design thinking.

    The second year of study builds on concepts of learning through practice from the diploma by introducing you to more complex learning experiences.  You will be introduced to:

    • Discipline-based skills and knowledge in dynamic practice situations. This will include authentic and purposeful, industry-related experiences.
    • Concepts of managing effective relationships and communicating with others
    • The development and use of adaptive leadership skills and how these skills relate to innovative and entrepreneurial practice
    • The nature of responsible, accountable and reflective workplace skills, and creative and critical thinking relevant to para-professional practice.

    You will exercise self-awareness, initiative and judgement to manage yourself and professional relationships effectively. The application of tacit knowledge and capabilities will be reflected in a Practice Manual.
