General

This four-subject course has been designed to allow employers the opportunity to sponsor their senior managers into a four-unit graduate certificate. Companies that wish to encourage their managers to study in graduate diploma or masters programs can use this course as a useful starting point for those who wish to continue with higher study and as a useful exit point for those requiring specific educational programs.

The Graduate Certificate in Management will enable employers to select the four subjects from any of the graduate diploma programs in the Department of Business Management, Faculty of Business and Economics which are most appropriate for their managers.

Both the Graduate Certificate of Business and the Graduate Certificate in Management have been specifically designed to enable employers to sponsor their middle to senior managers for an accredited qualification.

Course objectives

On completion of the course students should:

• gain an introductory-level experience in the principles of management in a complex and rapidly changing environment;
• be familiar with the key competencies required by the generalist manager;
• have an understanding of the processes by which managers can influence individual and group performance in organisations.

Entrance requirements

Applicants require a pass degree or an equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution and should be currently employed in either junior or middle management. Applicants without a first degree who have a minimum of six years appropriate employment experience should refer to the section on executive certificates.

Fees
