Following successful completion of the diploma program students are eligible for entry into the second year of the respective bachelor degree at ECU. A trimester system allows students to fast-track their studies and complete most courses in eight months. ECC’s flexible entry requirements make it an accessible option for students. ECC’s supportive learning environment ensures students are well prepared to enter university with confidence.ECC also offers the Post-Graduate Qualifying Program (PQP) which is a non-award program designed to lead students into ECU's masters degrees. The program is designed for students who already have tertiary qualifications but have not qualified for direct entry into university masters degrees in the Faculty of Business and Law.
