Course summary
Are you ready to take a step up the career ladder but missing some of the essential requirements to move straight into Masters level business study? Our pathway courses are designed for those looking for support to meet either the language or the academic subject entry requirements for postgraduate study.

The Graduate Diploma course consists of 120 credits delivered over two semesters and the Graduate Certificate course consists of 60 credits delivered over one semester. The two courses share a common core of modules; a 40 credit Business and Management in Context module and a 20 credit Developing Academic Skills for Business and Management module, designed to support your development of academic skills for future studies at postgraduate level.
