About the course

What can I expect out of this qualification?

The Postgraduate Certificate in Design is a short (60 credits at Level 8, 15 week) programme that supports a student with appropriate and equivalent skill that has been acquired through significant relevant work experience in Design (or a related field) to enter postgraduate study, without having to commit to a full Masters programme from the outset. This entry into postgraduate study programme is also suitable for career changers and students who have successfully completed an undergraduate degree in a different area, but who can show a relevant understanding and interest in the field of design.
