Masters Degree Description

This Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration enables students to embark on the first steps of an RAU MBA without committing to a particular sector. Completion of the Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration enables students to progress either to the MBA Water Management or the MBA Food and Agriculture, or to exit with the Certificate.

The PgCert - or Postgraduate Certificate – is the shortest of our Postgraduate level offerings, which is completed by studying four modules (60 credits). It allows you to study business skills in depth but takes less time to complete than the MSc or Postgraduate Diploma.

The PgCert is a great way of fitting postgraduate study around a busy life. Full-time students can complete the course in as little as one year. Part-time students can choose to spread the course up to two years, giving you lots of time for thinking and writing between modules. It is ideal if you want to study a specific subject but would rather not commit to a full MSc with its attendant time and financial costs.
