The Student

Career Interests

This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests. If these interests do not describe you, this course may prepare you for work you may not find satisfying.

Enterprising

Enterprising people like situations that involve using resources for personal or corporate economic gain. Such people may have an opportunistic frame of mind, and are drawn to commerce, trade and making deals. Some pursue sales and marketing occupations. Many will eventually end up owning their own business, or in management roles in larger organisations. They tend to be very goal-oriented and work best when focused on a target. Some have an entrepreneurial inclination.

Administrative

Administrative people are interested in work that offers security and a sense of being part of a larger process. They may be at their most productive under supervisors who give clear guidelines and while performing routine tasks in a methodical and reliable way.

They tend to enjoy clerical and most forms of office work, where they perform essential administrative duties. They often form the backbone of large and small organisations alike. They may enjoy being in charge of office filing systems, and using computers and other office equipment to keep things running smoothly. They usually like routine work hours and prefer comfortable indoor workplaces.

Career Progression

Successful students from the Higher Certificate in Business can use the ladder system to progress in their studies if they wish. Level 6 Higher Certificate students can progress to Year 3 of our Level 7 AU800 Bachelor of Business Level 7 students may then progress to Year 4 of the Level 8 AU900 Bachelor of Business (Hons) degree. This means students can obtain an honours degree qualification in four years, the same length as if they entered directly onto a Level 8 programme.

Graduates can continue their studies to postgraduate masters or PhD levels within Atlantic Technological University or at other third level institutions.
