Qualifications
Awards Available
Each university will specify the minimum number of modules that
must be studied at that university to be awarded a Postgraduate
Diploma, typically a third of them.
The MSc Project will always be supervised by the university that
makes the award. The choice of titles currently available through
CEESI Training, and the awarding university in each case, is shown
below.
Qualifications
The table below lists the titles of postgraduate awards covered
by the CEESI Training programme, together with the name of the
partner institution responsible.
The Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) requires passes in modules to
the value of 120 credits. The Master of Science (MSc) award has
similar requirements but in addition it involves completing a
substantial project and writing up the investigation and implementation
aspects in a formal dissertation. The MSc normally takes a minimum
of three years by part time study and is rated at 180 credits.
Some partner institutions award a Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert)
for people who want to stop early with passes in modules to the
value of 60 credits.
It is not essential to register for a qualification from the outset.
Once a CEESI Training module has been completed successfully the
credits earned can be counted towards a postgraduate qualification
for up to a few years.
