The Graduate Diploma (Type 1) in Management is awarded to students who were registered in the Management Research field of the MA Management program  and who decided not to complete the required major research paper.  The Program provides an enriching, professionally-relevant, and flexible academic experience by including students as part of a collaborative culture that emphasises evidence based management.  Students will be equipped with the necessary skills to support managerial decision making with evidence-based reasoning. The program will: provide students with an opportunity to continue in higher education as well as work on substantive research projects; enhance the research training essential for advanced study and for supporting managerial decision making; prepare students for careers in management that require evidence based decision making; foster collaboration between academia and industry and within academia, across the spectrum of potential studies in management analysis.
