The Graduate Certificate in Regional Economic Development provides an opportunity for executive and middle-level managers employed with businesses and state and local government institutions to gain formal qualifications and increase their knowledge in the economic issues of regional economic development and policy as well as accounting, management and banking.
An
applicant for admission to candidature must have a pass degree or equivalent
qualification from a recognised tertiary institution. A key selection criterion
will be an assessment of whether the applicant possesses the experience and
ability to successfully complete the course.
Applicants should note that, subject to demand, there may be two intakes per
year to this course, one to commence in first semester and the second to
commence in second semester.
Access to an IBM-compatible computer is essential for the use of word processing and other software packages.
Weekend schools are run three times each semester for some of the graduate units. Attendance is optional for those students wishing to attend.
The Graduate Certificate in Regional and Economic Development is awarded on successfully completing four graduate-level units normally taken over one year of study as follows.
Assessment will be a combination of assignments and final examination for each unit. Generally, a pass is required in the final examination.
Applicants who have completed graduate-level units at a recognised tertiary institution within the last five years which are similar in content to a unit forming part of the course of study may apply for a credit exemption to a maximum of 50 per cent of the course.
