Diploma in Economics (Level 6)

Fiji National University's Diploma in Economics (Level 6) develops students' critical thinking and gives them a deeper, more advanced perspective on economics, alongside technical knowledge and skills specific to a business discipline. Delivered over two years for 240 credit points at the Nasinu, Labasa, Namaka and Ba campuses, the programme also introduces students to industrial experience through a directed industrial attachment. Units cover academic English, banking fundamentals, the national economy, operations management accounting, microeconomics and macroeconomics, and resource economics and entrepreneurship in the first year, plus an elective from commercial law, marketing, banking services, finance fundamentals or business management; the second year covers intermediate macro and microeconomics, business statistics and operations management, with electives drawn from corporate finance, banking operations management, public sector or strategic management accounting, sales management, and electronic records management. Entry requires a pass in the Fiji Year 13 Certificate Examination with at least 50 percent in English, which is also the prerequisite mark for 500-level courses.
