DescriptionVIU’s Post-Degree Diploma in Business Studies provides students who already possess an undergraduate degree with an opportunity to study Business and Management. Students may select concentrations in Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Financial Services, General Management, Human Resource Management, International Business, Management/Leadership, Marketing, Not-for-Profit Management, or, following a consultation with the PDDB Academic Advisor, take a personalized program that suits their interests.

The program also offers an avenue for students who wish to pursue graduate studies but need to develop a stronger academic background. To ensure a higher degree of success in the MBA program, it is strongly suggested that students take courses from the five disciplines that form the MBA program. The disciplines involved are Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management, and Marketing.
