The Postgraduate Diploma in Business (PGDipBus) is designed to enable students to develop the generic and discipline specific skills and knowledge sought-after by employers around the world. The degree is also an entry pathway to the Master of Business (MBus). The PGDipBus normally requires two semesters (9 months) of full-time, or equivalent part-time, study. It offers specialisation in a variety of subjects that are completed through a series of taught papers. These papers mix papers that are generic to the Business School and papers that are specific to subject specialisations.
