Graduate Diploma of Business
Holmes Institute, Multi-campus (Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast), Australia
About this program
The Graduate Diploma of Business is Holmes Institute's one year, full time postgraduate qualification for students who want to upskill quickly in core business disciplines or who are building toward the MBA. It covers accounting, finance, economics and statistics for business decisions, and every unit credits directly into the MBA, so students who continue can move straight into the second year of that degree without repeating subjects.
Graduates typically move into roles such as business analyst, marketing coordinator, HR officer, project supervisor or operations coordinator, with the course marketed explicitly as a stepping stone into senior business leadership or a direct MBA pathway rather than a terminal qualification.
