Awarded by
Edith Cowan College
The Diploma of Commerce is an Edith Cowan College (ECC) pathway programme delivered on the ECU Sri Lanka campus and also listed for the Kandy campus. ECC operates under a joint venture between Navitas and Edith Cowan University, and the diploma is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree. Year 1 gives an overall view of business processes and foundation skills, with units such as communication skills, project management, introductory marketing, intercultural studies and English language enhancement. Year 2 is the business year: foundations of business, accounting and finance essentials, business analytics, ethics, work and career, and marketing principles. On completing Year 2, ECU grants exemptions for the first year of study (120 credit points) and students progress directly into the second year of ECU business degrees, with a minimum 50% pass in every unit required. ECC also says students can enter the second year of many Australian and Navitas-partner universities in commerce-related majors. Each year is 8 units and takes 8 to 12 months.
Sri Lankan O/L: a minimum of 5 S passes, or equivalent UK O Level results (for example 3 passes at grade D of the old system or grade 3 of the new system, or 4 passes at grade E / grade 2).
Students must be at least 16 on the programme start date (domestic). International students must be over 18.
