Introduction

The Graduate Certificate in Business Systems is offered by the School of Business Systems as an exit award for students enrolled in the Graduate Diploma in Business Systems, Master of Business Systems (Coursework) or Master of Business Systems Professional.

Where credit is granted, the number of elective units that can be taken outside of the School of Business Systems is reduced.
