What You Will Learn

Do you want to be equipped with the skills and expertise needed to take the business world by storm? With our Diploma in Business (DBIZ) (Previously known as Diploma in Business & Social Enterprise, DBSE), you will gain a strong foundation in business skills and knowledge that are highly sought-after by many organisations and industries. Through a multi-disciplinary approach incorporating innovation, technology and communication, DBIZ prepares you for the challenges of an increasingly complex and dynamic business environment.

You can also choose to specialise in one of two tracks: The Social Enterprise (SE) Track and the Sport Management (SM) Track.

The SE track equips you with social innovation skills to create sustainable businesses that positively impacts the environment, society and economy. You will gain an in-depth understanding of socially-responsible enterprises and develop a forward-looking mindset of thinking globally and acting socially.

In the SM track, you will gain extensive knowledge across diverse disciplines such as sports law, sports business and facilities management. You will be well-equipped to assume pivotal roles in sports associations, corporate businesses and the Singapore government’s ongoing quest for sporting excellence.

At DBIZ, you will enjoy activities beyond the classroom; from community services, national competitions, to overseas internships. Our strategic partnerships with the industry will give you opportunities to work on collaborative projects with our industry partners to build character and gain valuable experience.

Upon graduation, you will be well-placed to embark on an exciting business and management career across private, public and social service sectors.
