Postgraduate diplomas

Our postgraduate diplomas are a great way to expand your knowledge and gain a recognised qualification, but are shorter in length than a Masters degree.

You’ll study the same taught content as on the associated Masters course, but won’t submit a dissertation. We also offer online learning study options.
