Postgraduate Professional Development Course
Our holistic postgraduate experience delivers learning opportunities that support students in gaining multi-dimensional skills, insight and knowledge, with preparedness to chart a path to success for themselves, their organisation and industry. Considered an integral part of the learning experience is our Postgraduate Professional Development Course (PGPD). This series, delivered by SMU faculty who are leaders in their fields and supported by trained industry experts, complements classroom-based learning with provocative, interactive workshops that are key to sustained personal and professional growth.
You will be able to select and self-register for the workshops you qualify for during designated dates throughout the year, completing the PGPD as part of your graduation requirements. You’ll find the topics engaging and diverse, ranging from interpersonal effectiveness and communication, critical/creative thinking skills and negotiation to leadership, organisational behaviour, data analytics, spreadsheet modelling, innovation and business sustainability.
UNPARALLELED NETWORKING & CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
From workshops to employer matching, you will receive comprehensive guidance on succeeding in your employment opportunities with the support of our dedicated career counsellors. In the same vein, we are extensively connected to businesses from different industries with many senior management members serving on our school advisory boards.
