The Diploma of Business and Sports Management (Higher Education) at Federation University Australia is designed to offer foundational knowledge and skills in both business principles and the dynamic field of sports management. Delivered over one academic year at the Ballarat campus, the program integrates key business subjects, such as marketing, organisational behaviour, and management, with specialised units in sports management, preparing students for the multifaceted demands of the sports sector.
This diploma is structured into two semesters, with students enrolling in a set of units that collectively amount to a specific number of credit points required for completion. The curriculum uniquely combines core business studies with dedicated sports management topics, fostering a broad and applied understanding of both fields. There is a strong emphasis on practical and real-world learning, which may include work-integrated learning experiences or industry networking opportunities typical of Australian higher education diplomas, though students are encouraged to confirm specifics with the university.
Graduates develop essential skills in project management, communication, teamwork, and leadership, along with an applied understanding of commercial operations in sports organisations. The program is suitable for school leavers, those interested in a pathway to further study, or professionals seeking a career pivot into business or sports management. Students benefit from studying in close proximity to Australia’s leading sports industry networks, and have access to the wider resources of Federation University.
Australian diplomas at this level sit within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and may provide pathways into bachelor degree programs with credit for completed units. International students are required to demonstrate English language proficiency. Those studying on a Student visa are permitted to work up to 48 hours per fortnight and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream, subject to Department of Home Affairs requirements. Applicants are advised to check current course features and credit arrangements on the official Federation University Australia website.
It typically takes 1 year, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$35,000 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
