Online Delivery
The Graduate Certificate in Management (Manufacturing) is available nationally via the internet. The online program structure is the same as the structure of the programs delivered on campus in Adelaide.

- You can study from anywhere in the world - literally. All you need is access to the internet, so you can study even if your job requires interstate and international travel, or if prefer to study from home.
- You can study at a time convenient to you. Although the courses are interactive you don't need to be online at the same time as other students and the teaching staff.
- You have the opportunity for stimulating interaction with students and staff in a number of formats such as virtual classrooms, virtual cafeteria and other interactive forms.
- You have access to a high quality postgraduate learning environment. Our learning methodologies are based on the integrations of theory and practical work place applications.
