Postgraduate Certificate in Business (PGCertBus)

Overview

The Postgraduate Certificate in Business (PGCertBus) is designed to enable students to begin to develop, or develop highly focused, subject-specific and generic skills sought after by employers globally. The degree is an entry pathway to the PGDipBus. The PGCertBus normally requires one semester (5 months) of full-time, or equivalent part-time, study. It offers specialisation in a variety of subjects that are completed through a series of taught papers. These papers are a mix of those that are generic to the Business School and those that are specific to subject specialisations.

The normal admission requirement is a degree with a minimum grade of B, though some subjects require more specific student backgrounds.
