Students are required to complete six ERP core units, four IS units and a further six electives from both areas.

Four electives from an approved information systems list and two electives from an approved ERP list as specified by the course co-ordinator.

Students who successfully complete four units of study and elect to exit the course at that stage will be eligible to graduate with the award of Graduate Certificate in Business.

What's a unit?

A unit or 'subject' is the actual class you'll attend in the process of completing a course.

Most courses have a mixture of compulsory 'core' units that you need to take, and optional 'elective' units that you can choose to take based on your area of interest, expertise or experience.

Credits

Each unit is worth a set amount of study credits based on the amount of time you study. Generally, 1 credit is equal to 1 hour of study per week.
