Graduate Certificate in Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Being a successful innovator or entrepreneur takes more than just big ideas. This graduate certificate gives you the tools to turn your ideas into business opportunities, whether you’re developing a new start-up, are already a manager interested in innovation, or transitioning out of full-time work into self-employment.
You’ll build the knowledge and skills to commercialise creative ideas and learn about financing, business management and problem-solving to enable you to develop and manage high growth ventures. All our units are embedded with the United Nations sustainable goals and you’ll have the option of completing an elective in marketing or information technology and have the support of Collaborate Plus, ACU’s own business incubator and consultation service.
The Graduate Certificate in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a pathway into the MBA and Executive MBA or can count towards a specialisation in those degrees.
