The Graduate Certificate in Commerce is designed for professionals who are looking to upskill in a range of business areas. An undergraduate degree is not required to undertake this program.

This program also offers a pathway into the Master of Commerce. You can select courses to meet your professional development needs or interests and you'll gain exposure to contemporary business thinking applications

To meet your career or study goals, you’ll be able to select four courses from a variety of business topics. Gain exposure to business thinking, principles and their application from areas such as accounting, analytics, finance, international business, human resource management, marketing or risk management. See the degree Graduate Certificate in Commerce Handbook for more detailed information.

This flexible course selection offers two outcomes for your study. You’ll gain a contemporary understanding of a preferred business topic, or a broad understanding of key business practices and theories such as project management or human resource management. If you’re interested in further study, your courses are transferrable to the Master of Commerce (subject to meeting entry requirements).
