Graduate Certificate in Business Administration
Kaplan Business School, Multi-campus (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane), Australia
About this program
The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration is KBS's shortest postgraduate business qualification, built from the same four Level 400 core subjects that open the full MBA: People, Culture and Contemporary Leadership; Governance, Ethics and Sustainability; Financial and Economic Interpretation and Communication; and Consumer Behaviour and Marketing Psychology. KBS positions it for two overlapping audiences: working professionals wanting a fast credential boost, and recent undergraduate business graduates wanting a globally recognised postgraduate qualification without committing to the full MBA. The subject list sets the foundation for later MBA study (leadership of people, effective organisational culture, sustainability, consumer behaviour, financial data interpretation and business ethics) rather than a specific vocational track, and students who continue into the Graduate Diploma of Business Administration or the full MBA carry this block across as credit. Runs at Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
