Overview

Introduction
The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration (GCBA) is designed to produce graduates who can make a positive contribution to society in the business field. The course will challenge students to analyse, critically evaluate, and communicate advanced and technical knowledge of business administration theories in a range of real-world scenarios. Graduates will be able to demonstrate the autonomy, expert judgement, adaptability, and responsibility required of successful business leaders in an ever-changing and complex world.The structure of this course is based on the first semester of the Leaders Institute Master of Business Administration (MBA), allowing graduates to fast-track into the second semester of the MBA. It also enables students to exit the GDBA or MBA, due to unforeseen personal or professional reasons, after the first semester with a fully accredited qualification.Graduates of the GCBA may find employment in leadership and management roles in a relevant occupational field, such as: business and professional organisations; entrepreneurial start-ups; and not-for-profit organisations; as well as educational institutions that require skills in research and critical thinking. Additionally, graduates may choose to return to further studies in business administration.
