The Graduate Certificate in Research Commercialisation is designed for students in all fields of study to develop knowledge and skills in commercialisation of research. This program examines the fundamentals of commercialisation, including the innovation process and the contribution of commercialisation to economic and social development.

These fundamentals, and the context of commercialisation (including the role of the University and the methods used to commercialise research), are explored. The Graduate Certificate in Research Commercialisation provides researchers with the tools necessary to assess commercialisation opportunities and to commercialise research incomes.

The skills developed in this program will enable graduates to apply specific research knowledge to a wide range of commercialisation ventures. These skills can be applied directly to current research outcomes or to positions within companies or government departments with Research and Development functions.
