Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Management

Summary

These qualifications are designed to apply an advanced and broad body of knowledge to your applied management knowledge and to provide you with the skills needed to keep your knowledge current. The postgraduate suite of programmes seeks to develop your applied management capabilities. The programmes have a practical focus, grounded in theory, but emphasising the application of knowledge in real world contexts.

The applied management qualification combines a masters, postgraduate diploma and a postgraduate certificate into a flexible, multi-layered programme designed to extend, deepen and consolidate your future at the forefront of business and management. You’ll gain specialised business knowledge and skills and the ability to apply business knowledge by building on existing qualifications and experience, resulting in a comprehensive understanding, professional competence and leadership skills in modern business and management. The programme will further develop your critical thinking skills and ability to lead and influence businesses and organisations for a future of commercial, community and environmental sustainability.

It’s our business to help you study, so flexible options mean you’ll be able to study full or part-time toward this qualification, as you work around other commitments such as your current employment and family.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Management is a Level 8 programme of 60 credits, which enables those who have completed a bachelor degree in business, or similar, to achieve a postgraduate level qualification in the applied management area.

The programme can be completed in six months full-time or up to two years part-time, depending on your previous study and experience, and specific course preferences. It can act as an eligibility point into the masters degree for those who do not initially meet the possible requirement, and need to demonstrate their ability to study at postgraduate level. It also provides an exit qualification for students enrolled in the masters degree who, for some reason, are unable to complete the degree.
