The objective of the Graduate Certificate in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is to equip students with the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to bring research-based ideas, inventions and innovations to market, and to contribute to Australia’s economic and social and environmental wellbeing through commercial benefits generate from enhanced delivery of innovation research based products and services.

 

Admission Requirements:

There are two pathways to admission. Firstly, admission to the program is open to domestic and international PhD and MPhil students enrolled at ANU. Such students may qualify for financial support under the Commercialisation Training Scheme.
Information regarding the Commercialisation Training Scheme  may be found here:

The second pathway is based on academic, English language and work experience requirements, as follows. The final decision for admission rests with the Education Dean of the ANU College of Business and Economics.

Academic requirements - a Bachelor degree in any discipline from a recognised university.  The relative ranking and/or reputation of the university may be taken into consideration.  Applicants completing an Australian degree program must have achieved a minimum grade average of 65% in their undergraduate studies.  Students completing degree studies outside Australia will need to meet a similar minimum grade requirement, however due to variations in grading scales the specific requirements vary between countries. As an indication, examples of grades required include a GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or Upper Second Class Honours degree.  Please contact the ANU directly for the grade average required for your country.

Work experience - applicants must have at least 3 years professional or managerial work experience accumulated after the completion of a bachelor degree or at least 5 years work experience overall.  The applicant's work experience will be determined from information supplied in the application form, CV, referees reports and statement of purpose.  There must be clear evidence of career development.

English Language - applicants who are citizens of Australia, New Zealand, USA, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Singapore or South Africa can demonstrate English language capability by evidence of completion of their bachelor degree where the medium of instruction was English at a recognised, local university in their home country.

Applicants from all other countries and Australian permanent residents will usually be required to supply evidence of English language capability which meets the ANU requirements.  The ANU English language requirements are:

International English Language Testing System (IELTS) - overall score of  6.5 with no band below 6.0

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) - computer-based score of 230 with TWE of 4.5 OR paper-based test score of 570 with TWE of 4.5
