Graduate Diploma

Students who do not have appropriate undergraduate preparation for embarking on an MA course may apply for the nine-month Graduate Diploma, which may constitute a qualifying year for the relevant MA course.

The Diploma course is designed for students with little undergraduate training in their chosen field and consists of four modules, which are chosen in consultation with the Director of the course.

Two modules are chosen from the undergraduate level and two modules at the graduate level and students complete the appropriate coursework and examinations.

Diploma students also write a project on a topic of their choice and agreed by the Course Director. All who complete the year successfully will be awarded a Diploma, whether or not they proceed to an MA.
