Foundation Program (Standard) (089916J) + Diploma of Commerce (022637C) + Bachelor of Property and Real Estate (060343B)

Program Description The Deakin College Foundation Program is equivalent to upper secondary school (Year 12) and university foundation programs. It aims to prepare students for further study in a Deakin College Diploma or for entry into the first year of a selected Deakin University bachelor degree.

The course consists of either a standard or extended track program. The standard track program consists of eight academic units: five core units and three elective units. The extended track program has an additional four units.

Various support services focusing on language, literacy and numeracy assistance are also available to help students in their studies. Each unit includes four hours of classes per week. Assessment for all units is continuous and includes tests, assignments and case study analysis. Most units have a final two-hour examination. To graduate from the Deakin College Foundation Program, students must complete and pass all eight units in the standard program or 12 units in the extended program.

The Diploma of Commerce is a student's stepping stone to a wide range of career options across private and public-sector organisations. Enter directly into the second year of Bachelor of Commerce (many majors available), Sport Management, Business Analytics, Law, or Property and Real Estate.

Students will gain all the foundational knowledge to pursue further study in areas like accounting, business law, economics, finance, international business, marketing and management at Deakin University.

Students will gain the skills they need to build a career in real estate, from property development and valuation, to the business principles of law and accounting. Deakin’s industry-led Bachelor of Property and Real Estate is accredited by the Australian Property Institute (API) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This means they will graduate with a qualification that meets the needs of an evolving property industry.

Learn from leaders who are specialists and active in the field. Students will benefit from the most current approaches, ideas and research, and expand their own connections and networks.
