The Faculty of Business and Economics offers executive certificates as
faculty-based awards in many discipline areas. These awards offer a flexible
and business relevant program for professionals and experienced managers who do
not currently hold a university degree and need to obtain or upgrade their
knowledge and skills at graduate level.
The executive certificates involve the study of four subjects in the relevant
discipline area and provide for articulation opportunities, where a relevant
graduate diploma course exists, into other graduate level courses for those
students who attain an average of credit level or above throughout their
studies.
Discipline areas currently available, their course codes and their subject fees
for 2001 are as follows:
Admission
is open to non-degree applicants who have:

least three years and
(iii) are recommended by their employer or, if self-employed,
provide suitable references.
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.
It is strongly recommended that participants have access to a personal computer and a modem to facilitate email communication with their lecturer, other participants and electronic access to library services.
