Program Overview
The Graduate Diploma of Business Administration (GDBA) is designed to produce graduates who can make a positive contribution to society in business as effective communicators, innovators, and thought leaders. The course will challenge students to analyse, critically evaluate, and communicate advanced and technical knowledge of established business administration theories in a range of real-world scenarios. Graduates will be able to demonstrate the autonomy, expert judgement, adaptability, and responsibility required of successful business leaders in an ever-changing and complex world.
The structure of this course is based on the first year of the Leaders Institute Master of Business Administration (MBA), allowing graduates to continue into the final year of the MBA.
Graduates of the GDBA may find employment in leadership and management roles in a relevant occupational field, such as: business and professional organisations; entrepreneurial start-ups; and not-for-profit organisations; as well as educational institutions that require skills in research and critical thinking.
