    About

    High-quality research lays the foundation for cutting-edge innovation, technological advancement, economic growth and knowledge expansion. In the field of business, such research has provided invaluable expertise across a broad spectrum of matters, such as global development, corporate social responsibility, consumer choice, financial inclusion, and poverty reduction and social welfare. Today, ongoing research continues to play a vital role in improving the quality of life for individuals and communities worldwide, and the efficacy of organisations and industries.

    The Graduate Certificate of Research in Business is a unique six-month research training course that will afford you the scope to explore a wide range of research opportunities across the faculty. You’ll undertake advanced postgraduate units in research and methodology specific to your discipline, including research foundations, research frontiers, research communications and research practice. The course is designed to extend your research skills for expeditious application in your current workplace, or to act as a foundation for further studies in a graduate diploma or master degree.
