Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration
Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration
The Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration allows you to combine any three courses to achieve a stand-alone business award at postgraduate level. One of the three must be an MBA core course. It is an ideal benchmark to assess your suitability for the MBA programme and it allows you to enter the MBA without a first degree.
This certificate provides a stand-alone award, and entry onto the MBA programme if you do not have an undergraduate degree. The three courses at certificate level will count towards your diploma (six courses) or your MBA (nine courses) if you continue your studies.
Only a few courses are available in languages other than English: see the Language options section.
