Graduate Certificate in Small Business Management

More reasons to study this degree

The course provides industry-focused, flexible studies for small business operators. The course requires completion of three core subjects in marketing, human resources, and strategy, and one elective subject that enables students to tailor the course to their needs. A key component of study is the linkage of theory with current issues in small business and the student's own small business setting.

The course offers students a unique opportunity to network with industry peers and to develop alliances. The industry-aligned structure of the course enables students to learn and share processes with others. Students will be assigned to business-cycle clusters (e.g. start-up or growth) within their industry sector which provides networking opportunities and direct application of knowledge. The use of action learning processes means students can benchmark their current business processes and develop practical insights to create the desired future state of their business.
