Proposal Prepared by: Dr Brendan J Gomez

Synopsis
This post-graduate programme focuses on human development within people systems, particularly in fast-growing organizations and nations. It combines the applied sciences of human development, psychology, business, health and finance. Collectively, the programme provides integrated approaches in addressing current needs of progressive nations and systems. Papers map onto key needs of micro and macro systems, particularly in developing frameworks for addressing change, careers, creativity, coaching, conflict, profits, health, and international exchange. 

This post-graduate programme is modular and each module is equivalent to 30 academic credits. Each module is equivalent to 12 learning weeks and covers about 10 – 12 topics. Students who successfully complete Modules 1 to 4 receive a Post-Graduate Diploma. Those who move onto Modules 6 – 8 will receive a Masters in People Development & Sustainability.
