Postgraduate Diploma in Business and Commerce

KPT/JPT (R2/523/6/0081) 04/22 - MQA/SWA0120

Program overview

The Postgraduate Diploma in Business and Commerce provides a structured introduction into the conduct of business and economics related research at an advanced level. The structure and objective of this program is similar to the Bachelor of Business and Commerce (Honours) program. However, it most often appeals to Masters by coursework holders who do not fulfil the research component requirement for entry to a Graduate Research program i.e. Doctor of Philosophy or Master of Philosophy.

The learning goals associated with the program include:-

  • develop time management and communication skills
  • develop project management skills
  • develop critical thinking and research skills

This year of research centred study allows you to tackle practical problems from a broader intellectual perspective. The major component of the program is the investigation and writing of a research report that is unlike anything experienced at the undergraduate level or within a coursework based Masters degree.
