If you’re seeking a way to gain essential business skills and knowledge while keeping your future study options open, our short postgraduate certificate course in business and management is a great choice.

the key concepts that underlie marketing and how to develop a strategy
theories of leadership and how they apply in practice
human resource management and its distinction from personnel approaches
financial decision-making in the short and long term
Throughout your studies you will be collaborating with your fellow students and tutors through interactive discussion forums, live Q&A sessions and completing thoughtful and well-researched assignments. These will help you develop many of the key transferable skills that will take you far within the ever-changing business world.
After you complete your studies, you have the option to progress onto our postgraduate business pathways in management or finance.
