Your time is precious. Whether you’re looking for professional development or hoping to complete your study faster, these units from UNE Business School have been created with you in mind.

Each unit is delivered online over five or six weeks – the five week courses include required attendance at a two-day, high energy workshop at UNE Sydney in Parramatta. The courses will equip you with new ideas and strategies to implement in your own workplace.

The courses are delivered by experts who have curated the best knowledge available.

Take the opportunity to work on your own professional development with a short course that provides all the resources of postgraduate study for the cost of a typical university unit. Assessment tasks are built around your daily work challenges and will become part of the toolkit you take away from this experience.

Complete a short course as a stand-alone experience, or count it as a 6-point unit towards a range of postgraduate degrees at UNE under the banner of BUS496/596. Discuss this option with your Course Coordinator.
