1-Semester Pathway - Pre-Masters in Business, Finance and Management - Continue to Master of Science - Accounting and Finance

A postgraduate pathway is a single course comprising two stages of study; Pre-Master’s and Master’s. When students successfully complete the full pathway they will be awarded a Master’s degree from ARU. The Pre-Master’s pathway will prepare learners for future postgraduate studies by giving them confidence and expertise in areas relevant to their taught Master’s degree.

The Pre-Master’s course is Stage 1 of the postgraduate pathway, and is one semester in duration. It has been designed to prepare students who have not qualified for direct entry to ARU’s Master’s degrees, for postgraduate level studies. Undertaking a Pre-Master’s course will provide students with the time to adjust to the rigorous research and independent study requirements of postgraduate studies and prepare them to get the most out of their postgraduate study at ARU. The Master’s (Stage 2) offers students the chance to build on what they have learned during the Pre-Master’s and extend their professional understanding about their relevant area of study.

ARU’s Business School stands out because the courses focus on the real world of business. Many of the courses combine sound academic theory with solid management practice. At ARU College, students develop industry-level skills needed to thrive in a modern global environment. They learn to be adaptable and agile across all areas of business management and economic sectors. Students have the opportunity to get involved with a wide range of student initiatives like ARU’s Big Pitch entrepreneurship competition to inspire their ideas and support them towards making their mark.
