Students are required to complete four specialisation courses designed to advance their individual knowledge and competencies in areas of management relevant to their personal goals. Specialisations include: - Finance
- Financial Planning
- General Management
- Human Resource Management
- Information Systems
- International Business
- Logistics and Supply Chain Management (from 2008)
- Marketing Management
- Public Sector Management
Each specialisation provides additional insight that enables managers to interact in a cross-disciplinary role while building internal and external relationships and influencing resource allocation within the organisation. The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration may be awarded after the successful completion of any four core courses (40 credit points) or equivalent. Students entering the Honours stream will complete one Research Methods course and a Research Thesis (40 credit points) instead of a specialisation. These studies increase the competency of managers to utilise and evaluate the appropriateness of research results and to develop a greater understanding of the implications and application of research and also provide a pathway to research higher degree programs. The International Exchange component (40 credit points) provides an opportunity for eligible MBA students to obtain experience at one of Griffith University's international partner universities. Attendance The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration is offered full-time and part-time on campus at the Gold Coast campus. You may choose to study courses at other campuses if or where the program structure allows. As a full-time student, you will generally attend 10-15 hours of scheduled classes per week throughout the semester. As a part-time student, you will generally attend 3-6 hours of scheduled classes per week. Classes may be scheduled during the day and evening throughout the week. Sufficient classes will be scheduled from 5 p.m. to accommodate part-time students unavailable to attend classes during the day. International students must maintain a full-time study load. International students must make themselves available to attend all Orientation Sessions commencing from day 1 of Orientation week. International students who cannot arrive in the country to begin studies by teaching week 1, must gain permission from the MBA Director to commence the program in that particular semester. Career opportunities These programs increase the competency of managers to evaluate the appropriateness of advice provided externally and internally and to utilise that information to make decisions consistent with achieving sustainable outcomes for multiple stakeholders. The development of these cross-disciplinary skills will lead to a range of employment opportunities in public or private sector organisations with the specific opportunity depending upon the graduate’s previous experience and area of specialisation within the MBA.
