General

Course code: 0567
Course director: Professor Gerry Griffin
This four-subject course has been designed to allow employers the opportunity to sponsor their senior managers into a four-unit graduate certificate. Companies that wish to encourage their managers to study in graduate diploma or masters programs can use this course as a useful starting point for those who wish to continue with higher study, and as a useful exit point for those requiring specific educational programs.
The Graduate Certificate of Business will enable employers to select the four subjects from any of the graduate diploma programs in the Faculty of Business and Economics which are most appropriate for their managers.
Both the Graduate Certificate of Business and the Graduate Certificate in Management have been specifically designed to enable employers to sponsor their middle to senior managers for an accredited qualification.
