The Graduate Certificate of Management is a 24-unit postgraduate program that equips professionals with evidence-based management knowledge and skills. Designed for managers, entrepreneurs, and professionals seeking to enhance their career prospects, it serves as both a standalone qualification and a pathway to ANU Masters programs.
Applicants must meet competitive admission requirements including either a Bachelor degree with minimum GPA 4.0/7.0, relevant postgraduate qualifications, or significant professional experience. Alternative pathways include GMAT or GRE scores (completed within 5 years) combined with 3+ years of relevant work experience at ANZSCO Skill Level 1, or 5-10 years of full-time relevant work experience. All applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency and meet program-specific academic requirements. The GPA calculation may use either all grades or exclude the final semester of the Bachelor degree, whichever is higher.
The program comprises 24 units structured as follows: 6 units from the compulsory Evidence-Based Management course (MGMT7250), which is divided into two sequential modules covering EBM principles and evidence appraisal for decision-making; and 18 units from 7000- or 8000-level elective courses selected from subject areas including International Business (BUSI), Business Information Systems (INFS), Management (MGMT), and Marketing (MKTG). Key courses include Managing in a Global Context (BUSI7280), Technology and Project Management (MGMT7020), and Marketing Management (MKTG7260). Students develop expertise in evidence-based management practice, digital technology applications, innovative business strategies, and multi-disciplinary problem-solving.
