Commencement Year 2013 - 2014 - 2757.1 Graduate Certificate in Business Administration

The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration is designed to set the foundation of knowledge and skills in the core competencies of business and management. The graduate certificate is not only the first stage towards progressing to an Executive Master of Business Administration, but may also be taken as a stand-alone program.

The Graduate Certificate is the perfect introduction to understanding the workings of the management and the business arena. It offers practical strategies to approach the challenges involved in managing people, money and markets and shows how these core areas are linked. The graduate certificate is a particularly useful program for those who seek to immediately enhance career opportunities and for those who have been away from study for a long period of time. It is also a valuable introduction to postgraduate university study.
