Graduate Certificate (Commercialising Research)

Monash University offers a four-unit graduate certificate in commercialising research, aimed at students who are concurrently pursuing a higher degree by research. The goal of the course is to allow students to develop or enhance their skills and knowledge with respect to commercialising research, whether done by themselves or by others. The Commonwealth Government-funded Commercialising Training Scheme offers scholarships that cover all course tuition fees for eligible awardees.

The course consists of four units of six points each. The Centre teaches one of these units, “Research Commercialisation Planning” (GSB9100). This unit covers the business planning process required to bring research ideas to market. Topics include feasibility studies, market research, intellectual property protection, risk management, strategic direction, and strategic and functional planning.
