Postgraduate Education Designed for Working Professionals
AIM Business School offers a range of higher education qualifications and programs, which are designed to support working professionals of all industries and seniority levels achieve their career goals. From 7-week Postgraduate Microcredentials to our range of specialised Graduate Certificates, our courses are diverse in both complexity and content.
To enable those who wish to pursue the highest level of qualification, AIM Business School offers an articulation pathway that provides people without existing academic experience the ability to attain a Master of Business Administration, and earn additional qualifications as they work towards this goal.
Postgraduate Microcredentials
Postgraduate Microcredentials are certifications of assessed competency in high-demand skillsets and knowledge areas. Built from the individual units of our leading MBA+ program and delivered online over 7 weeks, they provide the same premier education experience, learning outcomes, and industry recognition as a full qualification, but without the long-term commitment.
Our expanding portfolio of Postgraduate Microcredentials explores essential business areas and emerging functions, from the process of developing and implementing strategy to how Agile project management practices are defining the future of business operations.
Graduate Certificates
AIM Business School offers an extensive range of Graduate Certificates to provide the precise academic knowledge and training needed for your career success, no matter what function or industry you work in. These are all Level 8 qualifications according to the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), which places them one level higher in complexity than a bachelor’s degree.
With entry possible based purely on your management experience, our Graduate Certificates are the usual first step in the MBA Pathway, empowering you with deep expertise in your chosen area.
The MBA Pathway
When studying with AIM Business School, you will be rewarded through your MBA journey with two additional accredited and highly regarded postgraduate qualifications. This empowers you with a depth and breadth of knowledge so you are recognised as a future-ready leader in your function.
