This is a fee-paying graduate course for which no additional liability under the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) will be incurred.

Fees paid may be tax deductible in accordance with Section 51(i) of the Income Tax Assessment Act, but students will need to determine their own tax position. Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.

The Graduate Certificate in Marketing is normally completed in two semesters of part-time study.

Mode of offering

This course is offered by distance education from the School of Business and Electronic Commerce.

Credit for work done previously

Candidates may be eligible for a maximum of two credit exemptions for subjects considered to be equivalent to particular subjects in the course of study. Please refer to the course director for further details.

Course structure

The sequence of subjects is as follows:

All subjects are offered in both semesters. Since GBU8066 and GBU8067 are prerequisites for GBU8068 and GBU8069, partcipants must first complete GBU8066 and GBU8067 before taking GBU8068 and GBU8069.

The course is designed to introduce participants to marketing and marketing management principles and concepts. The course then builds on those two subjects with a range of advanced tools for decision-making as well as providing an international orientation of marketing.
