Overview
Introduction
The Graduate Diploma of Agribusiness is designed to produce graduates who can make a positive contribution to society in agribusiness as effective communicators, innovators, and thought leaders. The course will challenge students to analyse, critically evaluate, and communicate advanced and technical knowledge of established agribusiness theories in a range of real-world scenarios. Graduates will be able to demonstrate the autonomy, expert judgement, adaptability, and responsibility required of successful agribusiness leaders in an ever-changing and complex world.The course draws on Leaders Institute’s established expertise in agribusiness. The structure of this course is based on the first year of our Master of Agricultural Information Management or Master of Business Administration (Agribusiness), allowing graduates to fast-track into the final year of the either Masters course. It also enables students to exit the higher-level course, due to unforeseen personal or professional reasons, after the first year with a fully accredited qualification.Graduates of the Graduate Diploma of Agribusiness may find employment in agribusiness leadership and management roles in a relevant occupational field, such as: agribusiness management; sales and marketing entrepreneurial start-ups; and not-for-profit organisations; as well as educational institutions that require skills in research and critical thinking. Additionally, graduates may choose to return to studies and progress along the pathway toward further studies in the discipline area of agribusiness.

School Level
The school's visa assessment level determines the risk level for students applying for a visa and is a significant reference.
For example, if a school's visa assessment level is 2, the applicant will face more restrictions and be required to provide more written evidence, such as proof of language proficiency and financial capacity.
