Graduate Certificate of Management (BQ4)

Students enrolled in the MBA may exit with a Graduate Certificate of Management after studying 4 units representing 60 credit points. Total study time is 600 learning hours. The Graduate Certificate of Management is designed to provide an introduction to the managerial role and its functions for practising or aspiring managers in commercial and public sector organisations. It is also intended to provide an opportunity for applicants to gain formal graduate qualifications, or as a basis for further study at the Graduate Diploma or Masters Degree level.

The Graduate Certificate is a component of the current Graduate Diploma of Management. On a full time basis, it allows students to undertake the Certificate course within six months or part-time equivalent, and then proceed to complete a Graduate Diploma within a year, with possible advancement into the Master of Business Administration.
