HOW TO APPLY
UC Business School’s innovative, research‑based qualifications make sure you are well equipped for a successful, professional career.

 

As a postgraduate student at the School, you will have access to guest lectures and presentations by business leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs as well as resources such as UC’s extensive library of academic journals. Our students are often offered opportunities to present ideas at symposiums and conferences, contribute to research, and are involved in teaching. 

Qualifications

Professional and leadership development short courses are offered by UC Executive Education for individuals and teams. The courses deliver practical tools to take away and be used straight away in a workplace or business.

A conversion degree allows you to undertake a qualification in a different field to the degree you have completed. Courses are delivered in a way that assumes you have no prior experience in the field.

Graduate Diploma in Commerce is ideal for those who wish to transition into postgraduate study and is also suitable for graduates with a non-commerce degree who have an interest or career goals in any of these areas.

Business Taught Masters has a range of master’s degrees and shorter qualifications that provide you with complementary skills in business. 

UC Business School’s research programmes are available for graduates who wish to further develop specialisation in their chosen field. Our postgraduate students benefit from good supervision ratios, a focus on quality research, smaller classes, and closer links with staff.
