Postgraduate Studies with Higher National Diploma (HND)

As an HND Diplomate you should be aware that there are opportunities for postgraduate study available to you. Many people believe that you need a higher qualification, like an honours degree, to join a postgraduate course. However, there are certain courses where your practical experience is highly valued, especially in areas like teaching and social work.

The PgCert and PgDip might be offered as specific, stand-alone Certificates and Diplomas, e.g. Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). More often however, they are linked to a Masters degree and awarded to students who have completed either one third or two thirds of a full-time postgraduate programme.

Some of the reasons that HND Diplomates consider postgraduate study include:

  • a particular postgraduate qualification is required for their chosen career;
  • a desire to demonstrate a high level of academic achievement;
  • to gain an advantage in the job market.
