About this program

The Graduate Certificate in Business Analysis at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) gives students a focused introduction to the principles and practices shaping business analysis. Based in Brisbane, this course highlights practical skills in identifying business needs, gathering requirements, and delivering data-driven solutions, skills valued in industries across Australia.

Delivered over 26 weeks, the certificate consists of structured units of study, each offering credit points that may be recognised towards further postgraduate work. Students typically engage in assignments, case studies, and project work centred on real organisational scenarios. While there is not a mandatory industry placement, QUT connects with local employers and engages practising professionals as teaching staff, grounding learning in current Australian business practice.

This course is a good option for those wanting to move into business analysis from other backgrounds, as well as IT professionals looking to formalise specialist knowledge. Students develop problem-solving, requirements analysis, and communication skills, applying industry-recognised tools and methods relevent to the Australian context. After completing this course, many students continue on to further postgraduate qualifications to deepen their expertise.

International students are able to work up to 48 hours per fortnight while enrolled, giving opportunities to gain Australian work experience. Those looking to stay in Australia after graduation should check official guidance regarding the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). Entry requires evidence of English proficiency, like IELTS Academic or equivalent, as detailed on the QUT website.

Entry requirements

IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall is the common undergraduate and coursework-postgraduate standard, rising to 7.0–7.5 for teaching, nursing, medicine, law and social work. TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge C1 Advanced and the university’s own English programmes are accepted as equivalents; the Department of Home Affairs sets a separate English threshold for the Student visa itself.
