The Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Science is designed for students who hold a science or technology undergraduate degree and want to extend their skills and knowledge. This qualification suits those who may have been out of study for a while or those who require a shorter time commitment than the Masters.
Papers passed in the Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Science can be credited towards the Masters of Applied Science. Similarly, postgraduate diploma graduates can complete a thesis year to qualify for the Master of Applied Science.
