What is a postgraduate diploma?

A postgraduate diploma is an advanced qualification that typically takes one year of full-time study or can be completed part-time over a longer period. It builds on the knowledge and skills gained in your previous bachelor’s degree, allowing you to deepen your expertise in a specialised field.

Postgraduate diplomas often include graduate-level papers, projects, or professional practice components, and are designed to recognise and enhance your practical, professional, or academic experience. They are ideal for upskilling, changing career direction, or meeting professional registration requirements without committing to a full master’s degree.
