The core units, Business Communications and Leadership involve a combination of experiential learning via simulations and exercises, multi-media presentations, guest speakers, case study analyses, and discussion of readings. The business core of these programs is a central feature as it integrates the development of technical and specialist skills with the development of a broader professional capability. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Please Note | This program will not be available for new (commencing) students from Semester 2, 2008. Following a review of postgraduate coursework programs in 2007 the Faculty of Economics and Business is proposing the Master of Business / Graduate Diploma in Business no longer be offered to commencing students. Accordingly the core units for the Business programs will not be available from 2009. Students currently enrolled in a Business degree or Diploma will, of course, be able to continue and complete their program. Units similar to the core Business units will be offered in other degrees in 2009, so students enrolled in the Business courses will be able to complete their degree or diploma without substantial change in course content. Continuing students should refer to the information available from the link below for the possible study options for this program. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
