The graduate diploma and the graduate certificate have been designed to provide graduates in banks and non-bank financial institutions with intensive training in banking and finance subjects. The certificate and diploma are only available through distance education mode.
As these courses are primarily designed to allow graduates in the banking and finance industries to satisfy the educational requirements for entry to senior associate status with the Australian Institute of Banking and Finance, applicants should approach that organisation to obtain clear guidance -- given their educational background and experience- of the subjects to be selected to achieve this purpose. Some students may be able to satisfy these requirements by completing the certificate. Other students may need to advance to the diploma upon completion of the certificate.
An applicant for admission to candidature must have a pass degree or equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution. Applicants must also possess at least three years full-time appropriate experience.
As for graduate certificate or an executive certificate offered by the faculty with an average grade of credit or above.
Applicants should note that there are two intakes per year to these courses, one to commence in first semester, and the second to commence in second semester.
Access to an IBM-compatible computer is recommended for the use of wordprocessing and computer packages.
Weekend schools are run one weekend a month for many of the graduate subjects. Attendance is optional for those students wishing to attend.

Any elective subject
from the subjects available in the degree or other graduate diplomas offered by
the school, or any subject listed below for the diploma provided the necessary
prerequisites are satisfied. Many students will need to take a subject in
either management or marketing as their elective to satisfy the professional
requirements within the framework of the certificate.
Students satisfactorily completing the Graduate Certificate of Business
(Banking) may then advance to the Graduate Diploma of Business (Banking) which
is offered by the Department of Accounting and Finance.
