Graduate Certificate

This full-time Graduate Certificate prepares students for postgraduate study in business. It introduces the academic skills needed to research, write and present at master's level, alongside the core business disciplines that underpin later modules. Across one semester the course explores enterprise development, with marketing, sales and finance among the subjects covered. Students practise the habits expected on a postgraduate programme, including critical reading and structured academic writing, before moving on to a masters degree. Assessment is by coursework, and students are judged on the same skills they practise in class. Successful students can continue to postgraduate business study with the university, which makes the certificate a sensible route for anyone planning further study in the subject. Students also receive guidance on planning their route into masters study.
