Program Overview & Objectives
The Graduate Diploma of Management is an introductory postgraduate program and post-experience designed for managers or aspiring managers seeking to update or upgrade their formal qualifications. The program emphasises the practical application of general principles from the broad range of business disciplines that contribute to the enhancement of managerial performance.
The program aims to provide:
- A coherent, integrated development program designed to prepare students for assuming broad managerial responsibilities;
- A variety of focused specialist courses that prepare the student for the immediate demands of a particular industrial or professional managerial setting; and
- A basis for further formal studies in management.
Objectives include:
- Developing approaches to learning that will enable practising managers to demonstrate initiative, flexibility, problem solving ability, innovative thinking and responsiveness to change in their work environments;
- Providing a strong foundation in management and communications, accounting, human resource management, economics and marketing as the base disciplines of management;
- Developing a managerial focus and style that promotes awareness of the environment in which graduates will operate, and to develop approaches that are appropriate to these environments; and
- Developing relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enable graduates to contribute to a specific managerial setting and promote the contribution of effective management in that setting.
