The Student
Career Interests
This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests. If these interests do not describe you, this course may prepare you for work you may not find satisfying.
Enterprising
Enterprising people like situations that involve using resources for personal or corporate economic gain. Such people may have an opportunistic frame of mind, and are drawn to commerce, trade and making deals. Some pursue sales and marketing occupations. Many will eventually end up owning their own business, or in management roles in larger organisations. They tend to be very goal-oriented and work best when focused on a target. Some have an entrepreneurial inclination.
Administrative
Administrative people are interested in work that offers security and a sense of being part of a larger process. They may be at their most productive under supervisors who give clear guidelines and while performing routine tasks in a methodical and reliable way.
They tend to enjoy clerical and most forms of office work, where they perform essential administrative duties. They often form the backbone of large and small organisations alike. They may enjoy being in charge of office filing systems, and using computers and other office equipment to keep things running smoothly. They usually like routine work hours and prefer comfortable indoor workplaces.
Linguistic
The Linguistic's interests are usually focused on ideas and information exchange. They tend to like reading a lot, and enjoy discussion about what has been said. Some will want to write about their own ideas and may follow a path towards journalism, story writing or editing. Others will develop skills in other languages, perhaps finding work as a translator or interpreter. Most Linguistic types will enjoy the opportunity to teach or instruct people in a topic they are interested in.
Career Progression
The Graduate Business School lecturing team includes practitioners from a wide range of industries. These lecturers bring their expertise to the classroom and offer insights to students of a practical and applied nature. There is also extensive use of the Faculty’s industry network to provide opportunities for students to engage with companies through their project work, research and through guest lecturing seminars.
Griffith College has endorsed and embraced the Bologna spirit of the transfer and progression of students between institutions in different countries and in doing so, a number of close working relationships have been developed. The College’s APL policies provide an opportunity for students with previous academic studies at Masters Level in a Business/Management discipline to apply for exemptions to a maximum of 30ECTS, or capitalise on our strong international network to spend a semester of your studies in a partner college.
Progression Opportunities
Graduates who attain appropriate management experience after graduation, can opt to return their MSc and “convert” to MBA award. This is facilitated through the completion of an experiential learning report, which marries the graduate’s academic achievement with their subsequent management practice.
As an internationally recognised level 9 award, graduates may also be eligible for doctoral studies.
