Graduate Diploma of Research Studies in Business in Brisbane Australia | Griffith University

The Graduate Diploma of Research Studies in Business offers an alternative pathway for students seeking to enroll in a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Master of Philosophy (MPhil) program but lack the necessary qualifications for direct entry. Successful graduates may qualify for MPhil or PhD admission, provided they meet the Higher Degree Research policy's candidacy criteria. The final grade will determine whether students progress to PhD or MPhil studies (additional details are available in the Pathways to further study section). A Program Director will oversee each student's progress and provide guidance throughout the program. Participants will develop skills to design and execute business and commerce research, preparing them for roles across private, nonprofit, and government sectors. Additionally, graduates may advance to research-focused higher degrees and pursue specialized research careers.
