Graduate Certificate of Management

The Graduate Certificate of Management (GCM) will equip students with a solid foundation of knowledge, skills and application in the management disciplines within an evidence-based management (EBM) framework. The GCM is both a standalone program and a pathway to our Masters programs for those who do not meet the traditional entry requirements for an ANU Masters program.

Students will have the choice to study four courses online (the Management Core) that provide a common foundation for many Research School of Management (RSM) postgraduate coursework programs. This common core will enable students within RSM to have a broad understanding of the following key management discipline areas that support future study towards a wide range of potential career paths.

• Evidence based management;
• Technology and project management;
• Managing in a global context; and,
• Marketing and stakeholder communications.

Alternatively, students may select from a diverse range of specialisations in the school (see the following list) or build their own personal combination of four courses that best meet their individual study needs and career aspirations.

• Business Information Systems
• Digital Transformation
• Entrepreneurship and Innovation
• International Business
• Leadership
• Project Management

Certain courses in the Management Core Specialisation have an Online study option.

Research School of Management graduates complete their studies having demonstrated the following attributes:

1. Evidence-based thought leaders
2. Innovators and pioneers
3. Collaborative problem solvers
4. Responsive and resilient professionals
5. Effective communicators
6. Internationally informed managers
7. Ethical and responsible decision makers
8. Technical business competencies
