Accreditation

This is a dually accredited course by the CMI.

MSc, PgDip and PgCert courses

An MSc is a Master of Science postgraduate qualification. A Master’s degree will give you an extensive insight into a field you're passionate about, and provide you with the skills required to put your knowledge to work. A Master's can also lead to further study, such as PhD.

An MSc is worth 180 credits and will involve producing in-depth research in the form of a dissertation.

PgDip and PgCert courses are shorter than a Master's degree, but are taught at the same level.

These shorter courses are ideal if you want to take your undergraduate studies further, but don't want to commit to something as intensive as a Master's degree. As these courses are shorter than Master’s degrees, they’re easier to fit around your current job.

A PgDip is worth 120 credits, and the shorter version, a PgCert, is worth 60. While they can be studied on their own, a PgCert can lead to a PgDip, which can lead to a full Master’s course. This means you can study to the level you want, with the option to continue your studies to the next stage.
