What is Business Studies?
This programme is designed to provide both a solid grounding in general business and to develop working competencies in areas such as Accounting, Finance and Management. It provides a foundation for employment in a wide range of business administration settings. In addition to core subjects such as accounting, finance, business law and communications it offers option modules in information technology, logistics and marketing.
What are my career opportunities?
A significant proportion of the graduates of this programme continue their studies to honours degree level. The programme confers exemptions from the initial studies of a range of degree programmes within DIT. As such this programme exposes students to a range of subjects, which allows them to make an informed choice with regard to their further studies and future career paths. In addition, the programme develops those skills and competencies which facilitate an easy transfer into a range of occupations in the financial, industrial and commercial sectors.
What other options do I have after completion?
Students who have reached the appropriate level in final examinations and meet certain subject prerequisites may have the opportunity to access honours degree programmes at the Year 2 level in DIT and elsewhere in Higher Education.

What our students say!
- I found the Higher Certificate course to be a very appropriate for those who are not quiet sure what area of business they would like to choose. It gives a fantastic grounding as a step towards a degree qualification and/ or the work environment.
- You get a taste of all fields that you could possibly choose from within DIT, and, after two years, it was clear to me that accounting was what I wanted to do. I am now in the accounting and finance degree and a lot of the topics I covered in the certificate have helped me in my studies for my degree.
