A diploma for tomorrow's leaders, today

Take your management skills in the next level with our rigorous online Postgrad Dip programme


Our online PG diploma programme covers key management disciplines through six courses. This must include one core course, choosing from: Delivering Successful Projects, Economics for Business, Financial Decision Making, Leadership, Theory and Practice and Strategic Marketing. See a full list of courses here.

Our course structure allows you to gain qualifications as you progress. On completing your first three courses, you will gain a Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration. A further three courses will earn you a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration. 

Students are drawn to the PG Dip by its academic rigour, its intellectual challenge and its ability to greatly enhance student career prospects. They’re also drawn by its sheer flexibility. You can study the subjects you want, in the order you wish, and begin and end whenever you choose.
 
You must pass the six courses to complete the postgraduate diploma; there's a three-hour exam for each course.

There is also an option to study the six core courses of our online MBA programme, which on completion would award you with a Postgrad Diploma. You would then have the option to complete the three more courses at a later date, to be awarded a full MBA.
