Summary
Introduction The Postgraduate Diploma in Science offers those with some background in science the opportunity to undertake more advanced and in-depth study in a subject. Over 20 subjects are available, and some can only be studied at postgraduate level, which can allow for specialisation and career pathways for graduates. The Diploma is primarily coursework-based, but some courses allow for independent project work or research.
