The Graduate Diploma of Business (Management) is designed primarily for graduates who wish to increase their knowledge of management theory and practice. The course makes extensive use of case studies, in-house situations and workplace projects with a particular focus on Australia's current economic and social climate.
On completion of the course students should:
Applicants require a pass degree or equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution plus a minimum of three years relevant employment experience, or an executive certificate offered by this faculty completed with an average grade of credit or above.
It is recommended that students have access to a personal computer. (Please note that the School of Business and Electronic Commerce operates in an IBM-compatible Windows environment.) It is also strongly recommended that students have access to a modem to facilitate e-mail communication with teaching staff.
This course is a fee-paying graduate course for which no additional liability under the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) will be incurred. For a student undertaking the normal workload of two subjects per semester, fees of $800 per subject will apply. An additional fee will also apply for amenities and library services. 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 Diploma of Business (Management) is normally completed in four semesters of part-time study.
This course is offered by distance education from the School of Business and Electronic Commerce.
Candidates may be eligible for a maximum of four 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.
Normally, subjects are completed at a rate of two subjects in each of four successive semesters and each subject involves an average of twelve hours of study per week. Flexibility is ensured by permitting completion of two elective subjects in areas of professional focus.
