The Graduate Certificate in Catholic Leadership is a formal course focused explicitly on the impact that the Catholic faith and values have on leadership for the common good. A unique collaboration between our School of Business and our School of Philosophy & Theology, this postgraduate program embraces today's rapidly-changing global environment while maintaining academic rigour and nourishing the service-oriented mission of Catholic organisations.
Devoted to the practical application of Catholic leadership values, this program will enable you to critically apply your understanding and practice of the Catholic faith to the leadership of organisations. You will also be expected to analyse management's theoretical principles and practical roles within a Catholic institution.
Upon graduation, you will be able to apply your learnings on leadership and management practices to service-oriented Catholic organisations. Alternatively, if you wish to continue your studies, you can progress with a Master of Leadership, Master of Business Administration, Master of Education (Leadership & Management) or Master of Arts (Theology).
A Graduate Certificate in Catholic Leadership will enable you to apply learnings of leadership and management practices to service-oriented Catholic organisations such as high schools and primary schools.
