Southport College is the biggest provider of the new Diplomas in Sefton. The College has places available to individuals who would like to join our Advanced Diploma in Business, Administration & Finance (Level 3).

The Advanced Diploma in Business, Administration and Finance has been developed to provide a solid grounding in business skills for people who are interested in any kind of business career or hope to run their own business. It is a full-time course for two years.

What will I study?

The Diploma in Business, Administration and Finance is built around three main themes:

Business enterprise: Looks at how to develop ideas, how to carry out research and promote products or services.

Business administration: Introduces business administration and its importance to organisations.

Finance: Looks at the knowledge and skills needed to manage personal and business finances.

Are there work placement opportunities?

Yes, you will have at least 10 days work experience to put the skills you learn into practice

What can I do when I finish the course?

It could lead you to a university degree in business administration, marketing or management or a career in human resources, sales and marketing, financial services, learning and development or any one of the vast range of different businesses operating across the globe.

However, the Diploma in Business, Administration and Finance doesn’t mean you have to opt for a career in administration or finance. Because a Diploma teaches a mix of subjects, it will give you the skills that will be welcomed by colleges, universities and employers, no matter what you choose to do.
