Applying for Credit/Recognition of Prior Learning

If you have completed previous postgraduate studies in a Business or Management discipline, you may be eligible to receive credit towards the Graduate Certificate program. You will need to submit a separate credit application, details can be seen at How do I apply for credit transfer?

Because the admission process for executive staff involves several application processes I would like to encourage potential students to start early to assemble documentation needed. In order for an application process for any of your executive staff to progress as smoothly as possible by our Postgraduate admission staff, you can also make contact with: Sam Doherty, Postgraduate Coursework Coordinator, email: [email protected]

Please also notify and copy Dr. Sidsel Grimstad, Lecturer and Researcher, Programme Convenor Master of Co-operative Organisation and Management, Newcastle Business School, Faculty of Business and Law ([email protected]) in so that she can support the application process if needed.
