Students are required to complete 4 units or 48 credit points.Interdisciplinary
The interdisciplinary stream within the BS39 Graduate Certificate of Business is open to students who wish to construct their own program of study necessary to meet their own professional or personal needs. Hence there are no recommended units. Requests by students to undertake units from other Faculties will be assessed on a case by case basis, although to award a Graduate Certificate in "Business" it would be expected that at least 3 of the 4 units be taken from business studies.Course Structure
