Course code: 0168
The Graduate Diploma in Business Administration essentially covers the set of core subjects in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and is designed for students not wishing to undertake the full MBA degree. The general purpose of the program is to provide quality education for those wishing to move into positions of general management or be managers of one of the specialist functions of management.
On completion of the course students should have:
The Faculty of Business and Economics will not be admitting candidates to this program from 1995 onwards. Intending diploma candidates should contact the Monash Mt Eliza Business School on telephone 9903 1500 or fax 9903 1501 to discuss the relevant course structure and content and to obtain details regarding proposed entrance requirements for 1997.
Assessment standards are similar to those for the MBA. A pass in every subject is required. One conceded pass is permitted for a result between 45 per cent and 49 per cent (designated PIIE for assessment purposes). Failure in two subjects will warrant exclusion. Failed subjects need to be repeated.
Students normally take one year of full-time study or two years part-time. The period may be shortened if students take summer-semester subjects. The approval of the director is required in such cases.
Students must pass eight first-year MBA subjects, or the equivalent, eg where substitutions have been granted for some 5000-level MBA subjects, 6000-level subjects would be permitted. The structure for part one of the MBA is appropriate although diploma candidates should note that they are required to complete three (rather than four) subjects from the functional subject requirement.
This will depend on the successful completion at an appropriate standard of the eight subjects required for the diploma. Conceded passes will not be acceptable. Progression will not be possible before the completion of eight subjects. Exemptions will be granted for appropriate subjects successfully completed.
