Graduate Diploma
The Graduate Diploma of Leadership and Management (Organisation Dynamics) is designed for work-experienced professionals who wish to develop their managerial capacities through the application of systems psychodynamic concepts to their actual experience of managing.
The course supports the development of individual capacities to shape and take up work roles that are meaningful, values-based, and which serve the ultimate purpose of the organisation.
It provides industry-relevant, post-graduate education grounded in rigorous conceptual development and work experience and provides opportunities for engagement with real-world learning in a social and global context.
On successful completion of this graduate diploma, you will be eligible for entry into the master's course.
Special entry may be granted to no more than 10% of the intake, in any given year, to those who have not completed a three year Bachelor degree or equivalent, but who have other tertiary qualifications and extensive relevant work experience.
Students entering this degree are required to have a minimum level of English language proficiency (details of these requirements can be found at www.nioda.org.au/policies).
The course is designed around cohorts of students learning together across time. It is a 'temporary' organisation within which students study the emerging classroom dynamics alongside the issues that concern them within their own organisations. Small student cohorts (twenty or less) enter Year 1 and remain together as a learning group, as far as possible, across the course duration.
Assessment reflects the focus on work-integrated learning. The assignments are practical in application whilst also requiring the use of rigorous theoretical concepts.
The course is a carefully designed learning experience that is tailored to support incremental learning that builds semester by semester across the course.
To qualify for the award of the postgraduate Graduate Diploma of Leadership and Management (Organisation Dynamics) students must complete 8 subjects. Total 96 credit points.
Post-graduate application.
