Graduate Diploma in Retail and Wholesale Business - GradDipRet&WhBus

Course structure

Course code: 1862 · Course director: Dr Val Clulow · Offered by distance education from the Department of Marketing, Caulfield campus · Normally completed in four semesters of part-time study
The Graduate Diploma in Retail and Wholesale Business caters for experienced retail managers, generally graduates from disciplines other than retail/marketing, who wish to undertake study in retail business subjects at the graduate level.
Applicants require a pass degree in a discipline other than marketing/ retail or an equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution, plus a minimum of two years relevant employment experience or an executive certificate from this faculty with an average grade of credit or above. The course is offered off-campus and will therefore be available to retail managers based in retail or related service organisations anywhere in Australia or abroad. Applicants from abroad will need to meet the university's requirements regarding proficiency in English.
Candidates may be eligible for up to four credit exemptions where they have completed subjects considered to be equivalent to particular subjects in the Graduate Diploma in Retail and Wholesale Business. Where candidates have completed subjects similar in content, but not equivalent to, particular subjects in the course, the course director may request another suitable subject be substituted.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult the Department of Marketing as to the 2000 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
The course is recognised by the Australian Retailers' Association. Course graduates employed in the retail industry are eligible to apply for graduate membership.
Students who successfully complete the Graduate Diploma in Retail and Wholesale Business may apply for admission to the Master of Business (Retail and Wholesale).
