The University of Otago Diploma in Commerce (DipCom) is a NZQA Level 5 qualification that enables highly motivated, near-miss university entrance students to gain a qualification that allows direct progression into the second year of the Bachelor of Commerce degree.
This is a fast-track qualification suitable for international and domestic students who only just miss New Zealand university entrance requirements and who are well placed to succeed in level 5 studies and transition into university study through a focused and highly supported environment.
The Diploma in Commerce leads into the second year of the Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) degree in which students develop a broad understanding of the fundamentals of business, while also having the opportunity to specialise in a business discipline of their choice.
