Overview

The Graduate Certificate in Marketing is designed for those who are seeking to progress their career in marketing or those currently working in the industry who wish to gain a relevant postgraduate qualification to update their skills and knowledge.

This degree will develop your knowledge of key marketing components, enhancing strategic, creative and critical thinking, as well as advancing analytical skills required for conducting and interpreting market research and intelligence.

You have the option to study on campus or via distance delivery mode. Distance refers to learning activities that do not require you to attend campus, but instead allow you to join pre-scheduled virtual classes.

Upon successful completion of the Graduate Certificate in Marketing, you may enrol in the Master of Marketing and will be eligible for credit for the four subjects completed within the graduate certificate.

If you meet the additional work experience requirements for the Master of Business Administration (MBA), you will be eligible for credit for three subjects completed within the graduate certificate.

We value the importance of prior learning and work experience in this course and understand that not all mature age working professionals have completed an undergraduate degree. If you fit this profile, you can still apply for the degree, as we will assess your other relevant tertiary qualifications or substantial relevant professional or managerial experience.

This course is only available to domestic students. See the course handbook for more information.

Fee subsidised places available

UOW is offering Commonwealth supported places (CSPs) for all of our postgraduate coursework degrees in 2025. This means the Australian government will subsidise your tuition fees by up to 75%. To be eligible for this fee subsidy, you must meet the following criteria: Be a domestic student, i.e. an Australian or New Zealand citizen, a permanent resident of Australia or a permanent Australian Humanitarian visa holder.
