You will receive a Foundation, a Higher or an Advanced Diploma. You can then choose to do more study or get a job - the decision is yours.
As part of The Diploma, students will get the chance to learn with, and be mentored by, employers.
You’ll have lots of opportunities to experience different work and study environments. You may find college style study suits you better, or that interacting with people in the workplace is appealing.
One of the best things about studying for a Diploma is that it gives you the knowledge and skills that employers and universities are looking for while still keeping your options open. So you can decide whether to go on to further study or into a job with training... or both. And you will have a much better idea of the type of career you want to follow.
Students of all backgrounds, interests and abilities will benefit from taking a Diploma. Three different levels mean there is a qualification to suit everybody. There's an emphasis on practical activities and flexible options to help you pursue your own interests.
