A postgraduate diploma is a postgraduate qualification that is awarded after a university degree. It is more advanced than an undergraduate degree, but takes less time to complete than a master's degree.
The program is typically completed in one year or less and does not require a dissertation or final project. It can be an academic course or a vocational course, such as a legal practice course.
Education Institutions use different abbreviations for postgraduate diplomas, such as PGDip, PG Dip, PGD, and PgD.
