The Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Management (PGCertApM) is a Level 8 programme of 60 credits, which enables those who have completed a bachelor degree in business, or similar, to achieve a postgraduate level qualification in the applied management area.

The programme can be completed in six months full-time or up to two years part-time, depending on your previous study and experience, and specific course preferences. It can act as an entry point into the masters degree for those who do not initially meet the entry requirement, and need to demonstrate their ability to study at postgraduate level. It also provides an exit qualification for students enrolled in the masters degree who, for some reason, are unable to complete the degree.

The MApM, PGDipApM and PGCertApM qualifications enable you to develop and/or manage a business, or pursue domestic and/or international professional careers within different types of industries and agencies. These can include the following areas:
