Graduate Certificate in Commerce
Develop specialist knowledge and skills in applied finance, professional accounting and information systems to think critically, make confident decisions and advance your career.
The Graduate Certificate in Commerce has been designed to equip you with highly regarded formal qualifications in finance, accounting or information systems, and provide you with the know-how to move into senior management or financial roles.
Students of the Graduate Certificate in Commerce study 3 of the 4 foundation courses, and can study one course that is a specialist course or a foundation course in the field of their choice (accounting, Information Services or finance). For this reason, the Graduate Certificate is usually taken by students who want to get a taste of University life without committing to the full Masters degree. Often, Graduate Certificate students can articulate into the Masters Program upon completion of the Graduate Certificate if they meet a certain level.
