WHY STUDY THE GCM?

The Graduate Certificate in Management (GCM) provides students with the opportunity to develop advanced business knowledge and skills upon a core of strategic and critical thinking. It provides an opportunity for career-focused individuals to gain a formal business qualification that will prepare them for team leader and management roles.

As well as being a highly valued qualification in its own right, the GCM provides students with a foundation for further graduate-level studies in management and business. On completion of the GCM, students will have completed one quarter of the required study for the AIHE MBA, so will be well placed to continue their studies in that qualification or in a variety of other business-related Masters's programs.
