Purpose of the Program

The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration is a stand-alone award that offers a pathway for further learning leading to the Master of Business Administration, or can be an early exit point for those enrolled in the Master of Business Administration. The program aims to broaden knowledge and skills for students entering with a qualification in an unrelated discipline, while students from a related discipline will deepen their existing knowledge and skills. 

The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration provides recent graduates or emerging managers with the opportunity to acquire contemporary business knowledge and skills necessary to take up leadership roles in an increasingly complex and uncertain world. This program imbues knowledge and skills which will enable graduates to manage organisations and make decisions in an unpredictable business environment. You will be provided with various opportunities to employ business design thinking to provide innovative solutions to contemporary business problems.

 

This program provides a range of learning experiences which will allow you to apply management theories and concepts across a range of contemporary organisational contexts. Students are involved in a variety of learning activities, which include lectures, role plays and other experiential activities, including seminars, discussions, individual and team presentations, team activities, preparing business reports and preparing and presenting business consulting projects.

This program emphasises practicalities and the development of skills to address real world issues in contemporary business settings. The program offers a pathway to success in business for recent graduates with limited working experience, and emerging managers.
