The Curtin Graduate Certificate in Business will provide you with a solid foundation in economics, financial decision making, leadership and organisational behaviour.
This course is relevant for managers at all levels (emerging through to middle/senior levels) who want to formalise their business knowledge and may not have a university qualification, or who have an undergraduate degree in a non-business area.
After completing the four units of the graduate certificate you may choose to exit or pause your business studies or complete the additional eight units required to gain your Master of Business Administration (MBA).

After your Grad Cert, you need only complete eight units to gain a Curtin MBA.
Face-to-face study is at Curtin’s Graduate School of Business, in the heart of the Perth CBD.
Complete this course in only two trimesters (about eight months).
I completed a Graduate Certificate in Business and continued on to my MBA, which has been vital in my career progression. Since I began studying at Curtin I’ve had three promotions in three years. The most important skills I’ve gained are critical thinking, leadership, networking, and overall business knowledge.
