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.
