Graduate Certificate in Business Practice
The Graduate Certificate in Business Practice aims to upskill professionals with latest knowledge and methodologies in key business practice areas. This is achieved by knowledge- and capability-building subjects that have been co-developed with industry to provide an applied learning experience, and a studio subject focused on understanding, analysing and evaluating challenges and opportunities organisations face. Students examine a range of environmental, social and economic drivers of megatrends influencing organisations, industry sectors and societies as they operate within planetary boundaries, and become familiar with systems thinking, multi-level perspectives and multidisciplinary methods for envisioning futures. Students are also introduced to digital technologies and explore how they change existing practices.
The course is designed for professionals wishing to strengthen their career by extending their analytical skills and leadership capability. It features:
- applied and customised training in key discipline-based and transdisciplinary tools and methodologies
- applied, work-integrated problem solving with a focus on identifying and analysing complex problems and opportunities in digital contexts
- development of leadership skills and capabilities
- all subjects are taught in intensive mode over full Fridays and Saturdays, which means students can keep working while they study, applying what they learn right away on their jobs; weekly sessions are only scheduled for in-class assessments and group coaching and mentoring sessions
- delivery by leading academics from UTS Business School who are joined by experts from other UTS faculties; students also engage with an extensive network of adjuncts and industry partners
- a cohort model fostering the development of lasting relationships with like-minded peers.
