Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (Executive) at University of Wollongong, Australia

The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration (Executive) is a unique degree designed for experienced senior managers who want to build their professional capabilities, those aspiring to executive positions and entrepreneurs who are motivated to start and grow their own business venture. The program will develop and advance the skills required to respond to the dynamic business environment by identifying, implementing and managing best business practices through the New Business Venture stage of the business life cycle. You will learn to be innovative, visionary and strategic in the delivery of key business outcomes and realise and develop your authentic leadership style. Your managerial and directional skills will be enhanced to enable you to provide effective responses to the organisation of all business models. The subjects are specifically designed and taught for interactivity, and you will be able to share and learn from likeminded professionals at similar stages of their career in the classroom. This allows you to expand on your career network and immediately utilise the learnings back to your current senior managerial or executive role. The assessment tasks are similarly designed to be applied back to real and current business objectives. To allow you to manage your work and study commitments, the program is taught with flexibility in mind and delivered via regular weekend block classes including a residential weekend. This program is embedded into the Graduate Diploma of Business Administration (Executive) and Master of Business Administration (Executive), which means you can progress into either of these programs with credit for all 4 subjects completed.
