The Graduate Diploma of Business (Management) is designed primarily for graduates who wish to increase their knowledge of management theory and practice. The course makes extensive use of case studies, in-house situations and workplace projects with a particular focus on Australia's current economic and social climate.

On completion of the course students should:

have the ability to link these management activities to high quality, customer focused outcomes.
understand the importance of effective strategic, human resource, financial and marketing management.
have a broad understanding of current management theory, processes, and change issues in an uncertain business environment.
have fostered the skills to enable them to successfully continue in their managerial careers or to articulate into higher degree studies.
