About this course

The Graduate Certificate in Leadership and Entrepreneurship has been developed specifically to enhance your employability under our Graduate Guarantee. From 2022, if you successfully complete any of our undergraduate degrees and you are not able to secure part-time or full-time employment in a relevant field within six months, our Graduate Guarantee will support your continued learning at no cost.

The course will introduce you to key concepts in business leadership, entrepreneurship and social and business innovation. The units within the Graduate Certificate in Leadership and Entrepreneurship are drawn from our well-regarded MBA (Leadership) to offer you up-to-date and industry-relevant knowledge to complement your discipline. You'll study entirely online via our hyperflexible Be Different platform.
