The Graduate Diploma (GDip) in Business and Entrepreneurship is an industry-oriented Graduate-level program established to address societal needs by improving the analytical and management capabilities of industry professionals.
Admission Requirements
Admission requirements for the GDip are:
- A four year undergraduate Honours degree or equivalent from a recognized university
- In the case of a three year undergraduate degree or equivalent from a recognized university, a minimum of 4 years of industry experience may be considered for admission into the program
- A minimum average of 75% in the last two years of study
- Provide proof of proficiency in English (if applicable); accepted examinations and required minimum scores for graduate studies are listed on the English Language Proficiency page.
Diploma Requirements
Students are required to successfully complete any six courses from the BE series for the GDip. Students who complete three BE courses as part of another graduate qualification may apply to receive a Graduate Certificate of Completion from the Conrad Centre. Alternatively, they may apply for admission to the GDip program, successfully complete an additional three courses, and be awarded the GDip. (A student may receive the Certificate of Completion, or the GDip, but not both.) Courses within the program will usually be offered in a combination of both face-to-face and online multi-media environments to facilitate completion on a part-time basis.
