We convened an advisory panel from across industries to help design this course - so you get the skills and knowledge industry needs. With members drawn from government, healthcare, education, banking, recruitment, digital media and management consultancy, the panel worked with our subject experts to craft a course that will empower you to solve today's - and tomorrow's - business challenges.
Studying business at Charles Sturt means you'll learn from academics who have a diverse range of experience in finding solutions for business and government. Your academic team will include researchers investigating everything from managing supply chain logistics and creating brand authenticity, to fostering diversity and wellbeing in the workplace.
With three different start dates throughout the year, this business degree works around your schedule. You can also study the Graduate Certificate in Applied Business online full-time or part-time, and take on more subjects or scale back as you need, depending on what life throws at you.
The flexible nature of our suite of applied business courses means you can start with a graduate certificate and build to a diploma then a full master's degree, with credit for each step you complete. You also have the option to 'test the water' with an eight-week micro-subject.
As a graduate you'll be well placed to take the lead in creating business impact. You could work as a project manager, a business analyst, or even a digital marketer. Wherever you want to take your career, the skills you'll gain from this graduate certificate will make success your constant companion.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
Online students may need to attend an online or on campus intensive school for certain subjects. Intensive schools offer face-to-face or virtual lectures, tutorials and practicals to give you a deeper understanding of your subject content.
