Program overview

Graduates of the eight-course Graduate Diploma in International Business have undertaken skill-focused programs of study and practical work to develop their professional understanding and problem-solving abilities. The Graduate Diploma builds on the four-course Graduate Certificate in International Business and articulates into the Master of International Business.

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.
