Indigenous Pre Business Specialisation

About the course

This Indigenous Pre Business Specialisation is a preparatory pathway that supports Indigenous Australian students to build foundational business knowledge and skills for university study. It is designed to help you develop core practices in business and prepare for further undergraduate study. Successful completion allows eligible students to apply for direct entry into Curtin business award degrees, including the Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Business Administration.

Career outcome

This specialisation is designed as a pathway rather than a standalone professional qualification, helping Indigenous Australian students prepare for undergraduate business degrees. It builds foundational capability to progress into commerce and business administration studies, supporting future career directions in business settings such as administration, customer service, retail and operations. Outcomes are primarily realised after articulation into a Curtin bachelor-level business or commerce qualification.
