Postgraduate diplomas

Oxford's Department for Continuing Education offers part-time postgraduate diplomas in the following disciplines: 

We also offer a full-time programme in International Wildlife Conservation Practice.

What is a PG Dip?

Postgraduate Diplomas (PG Dip) are taught at the same level as master's degrees, but they are shorter in length. Some students progress on to a postgraduate diploma after completing a Postgraduate Certificate.

Upon successful completion of a postgraduate diploma, some students have gone on to further graduate study at a master's or doctoral level at Oxford and elsewhere.

Level and demands

As these are postgraduate courses, you are normally expected to have a good first degree, although in exceptional cases candidates may be admitted on the basis of relevant professional experience.

We also offer postgraduate certificates, master's degrees (MSt and MSc) and DPhil programmes.
