What you'll learn
Our Graduate Certificate in Global Executive Business Administration (Defence and Space) offers online learning alongside an intensive two-week residential. Delivery of the program is cohort based, with one intake annually.
You’ll build a comprehensive body of knowledge on a range of industry-specific topics. Industry guest speakers will include star rank defence force officers, CEOs, government representatives, board members of defence primes and other prominent figures in the defence and space industries. Case studies will incorporate real-world examples in key areas, allowing you to apply your learnings to current and relevant industry practice.
Over the course of the six-month program, you’ll study the following courses online:
- Strategic finance and economics for defence
- Cybersecurity and security systems.
Each online course covers 30 hours of content, delivered via a combination of live sessions and self-directed learning. They require approximately 10-12 hours of study per week in addition to live online delivery contact hours.
You will also undertake an intensive two-week residential. This will be based in Adelaide, where you will study:
- Enterprise leadership and managing global teams
- Strategy in the age of digital disruption.
The residential spans two intensive weeks, with 30 hours of course content delivered per week. This is complemented by scheduled evening events, where you will network with industry experts. You should plan to take leave from your work during the residential, as it will require a full-time commitment.
Adelaide University takes an innovative approach to career development and life planning, incorporating curiosity, reframing and prototyping to find solutions. We’ll help you explore your interests, values and skills, guiding you in the creation of a life and career that aligns with your goals.
This six-month program is part of a nested suite. It provides foundational knowledge and credits that are transferable towards the Graduate Diploma and Global Executive MBA in Defence and Space.
