Program Overview

The demands of management in the 21st century require skills that cannot be learned on the job. Graduate training in management and business administration has become essential for those who aspire to reach the top of their profession.

Our graduate business programs begin with a four-course Graduate Certificate in International Business, which can articulate into the Graduate Diploma and the Master of International Business.

Admission Requirements

An undergraduate degree in any discipline from a recognised higher education institution is the minimum requirement for entering the Graduate Certificate of International Business program. No work experience is required.

Applications are also invited from candidates who do not have an undergraduate degree. These applications will receive special consideration from the Dean of Business, who has the discretion to waive the educational requirement if it is considered the candidate is likely to be successful at postgraduate study and would benefit from the program.

Applicants whose first language is other than English must demonstrate an appropriate level of English proficiency by providing evidence of one of the required qualifications.
