~083 Graduate Diploma in Business
Administration
This program is offered for qualified executives or potential
executives, who have not undertaken significant studies in
the administration/management fields, but in the course of
their employment, feel the need for a broader knowledge of
this area.
The program gives candidates:
(1) a working knowledge of the factors affecting the task of
the manager and methods of analysing these factors.
Particular emphasis is placed on the needs of middlemanagement
in both private and public enterprise, to
manage in a changing environment;
(2) an opportunity to examine and practise problem-solving
and decision-making in management situations, which
should equip students in any type of business
organisation with the ability to develop logical and
creative approaches to their jobs.
After completion of the program, candidates will have
improved their analytical skills and their effectiveness in
dealing with managerial responsibilities. Moreover,
participants will have a broader outlook, extending beyond
their immediate specialist areas.
Entrance requirements
Entrance is open to graduates who hold a degree or diploma
or its equivalent. The program is available also to a restricted
number of candidates whose position or experience in
employment is sufficient indication of their capacity to
complete the course.
Admission is determined by a selection committee. In
addition to academic achievements, selection depends upon
maturity, work experience and executive potential.
Accordingly, each applicant is invited to attach to the
application form a detailed curriculum vitae.
It is expected that most people who gain direct entry to the
course should complete the qualification with two years of
part-time study, but, in order to continue in the course,
students must maintain a satisfactory standard of progress.
