Top of pagePurpose of the Program
The Graduate Diploma in Commerce is an early exit point for those enrolled in the Master of Commerce. 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 Diploma in Commerce is an innovative postgraduate business program, which provides you with the conceptual business foundations and specialist discipline knowledge and applications necessary to work and operate effectively in a global business environment. This program provides many flexible opportunities to customise and adapt your coursework learning to match your specific interests and career aspirations or needs. The Graduate Diploma in Commerce aims to enhance and support your career in operational, managerial and consulting roles across a broad range of local and global enterprises and settings.
During this program you will be exposed to a variety of learning experiences and activities that will enhance your ability to interpret business information, prioritise and analyse complex issues, and to formulate plans, strategies, options and solutions. You will participate in face to face workshops and online activities, and engage in tasks requiring critical analysis and problem solving. Working in groups and individually, you will identify and analyse a range of strategic issues, and apply theory to cases and practical problems.
This program is delivered on-campus.
