Graduate Certificate of Business Administration

The Graduate Certificate of Business is embedded in the Graduate Diploma and Master of Business Administration (Business Analytics) and has been designed as both an exit qualification and a pathway into postgraduate study.

The overall aim of the Graduate Certificate of Business Administration is to provide a flexible, student-centred and academically rigorous course of study, which seeks to develop students’ intellectual skills and competencies and give them a sound foundation for further postgraduate level study in their chosen discipline.

This course seeks to provide students with a postgraduate level of knowledge, competencies and values necessary for a fulfilling career in various areas of business administration and management. For this reason, students are required to undertake four core business units: finance for corporate managers, strategic communication and negotiation, strategic marketing management and people, culture and agile leadership.
