The Graduate Certificate in Leadership is designed for both new and experienced leaders wishing to consolidate their learning, challenge their assumptions and underpinning knowledge and skills, and explore ways to develop their leadership influence skills in their teams and workplaces.
Students undertake a series of coursework units which may include a project unit, integrating critical thinking and engagement with theoretical, religious, and spiritual beliefs with a body of knowledge and lived experience. This is done through enquiry-based studies, case studies from leading professionals to address workplace problems and issues, that may lead to practical applications for change in their professional context.
Every course of study for the Graduate Certificate in Leadership consists of 72 points of Foundational/Core or Elective units.
