Details
The specialisations you can choose in the Graduate Certificate in Business offer a targeted group of units to broaden your knowledge in your selected business discipline.
The Graduate Certificate in Business is an excellent re-introduction to tertiary learning and an opportunity to update skills or, as one-third of the Master of Business program, a pathway to higher level study.
Units
Students are required to complete 4 units (48 credit points).
There are no recommended units for the Graduate Certificate in Business (Interdisciplinary), however, students must choose postgraduate units offered by the Business School of Business, excluding the MBA program and external units prefixed “AMN”. Requests to undertake units from other Faculties will be assessed on a case by case basis, although to award the Graduate Certificate in "Business" it would be expected that at least three of the four units be taken from business studies.
