About the course
Postgraduate diplomas are an excellent way to continue your professional development in the same field as your original degree. They can also serve as a pathway to a master’s degree. Postgraduate diplomas typically involve a one-year full-time programme or an extended part-time study of graduate papers. These programmes build on the foundation of your previous degree and recognise your practical, professional, or academic experience.
