Within the suite of Graduate School of Business (GSB) programmes, the Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration has been designed to open up wider opportunities for managers to improve their administrative performances through exposure to high-level administrative training. It is offered in two streams: for general managers, and for managers requiring advanced analytical skills.

Those who complete the Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration may apply for admission to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme, provided they achieve at least a GPA of 3.0, and if successful will normally receive cross credit for the six Postgraduate Diploma courses.
