Other information

UTS is Australia's premier centre for research and teaching in nonprofit or community organisations. The Community Management program forms the University's flagship teaching program for people working in these areas.

The Community Management program is designed for people who manage, or hope to manage, non-government, nonprofit organisations, and for those who wish to improve their qualifications and obtain appropriate management skills.

The courses provide an opportunity to study, at a professional level, those factors contributing to the effective management of nonprofit organisations. Participants develop an understanding of this 'third sector' and its social and economic context, and are introduced to ways of thinking systematically about nonprofit organisations and their management. Participants gain knowledge of the range of nonprofit organisations, their structure and distinguishing features.

Course aims

The Graduate Certificate provides a basic introduction to the field and develops skills and knowledge in financial management and funding.

The Graduate Diploma builds on this and extends participants' skills and knowledge in human resource and legal aspects of nonprofit management. It also offers participants an opportunity to pursue areas of specialist interest.

The Master of Management further develops critical and analytical skills in the area of community management. It develops research skills and the opportunity to apply these to a project focusing on a specific aspect of community management.
