Relevance Of Postgraduate Diploma (pgdip) (Advice Needed) by CoCoLav(op): 7:22pm On Dec 07, 2014

Hi everyone,

Pls I would like to know the relevance of a postgraduate diploma to someone who already has a masters. I'm planning to take on further education after my masters next year but it seems a postgraduate diploma will be irrelevant after obtaining my masters. I would like to know if this is true.

Note: I haven't really considered a PHD because I feel its for those who want to lecture.

Thanks.

If you have a Masters in a discipline you don't need a postgraduate diploma. Let's say you have a First degree in Law and would love to have a Masters in Computer Science, you will need to first get a PGD before being admitted for a Masters programme.

In some cases, folks that graduate with a third class might need to get a PGD before being admitted for a Masters.

So I guess the next degree after a masters is a PH.d?

You're welcome. Yes it is, PhD is after masters.

Not necessarily, you can do as many masters as you like if you don't want to do a PhD.

By the way, why do you want to keep studying if you don't want to do a PhD? Are you studying to keep busy?

I think a PhD is really stressful. I have helped many PhD students with their thesis and research and I just feel its too stressful, though I might be wrong it could just be a Nigerian factor.

I am not studying to keep busy. When I see a course that interests me I make plans to get a degree in that course. For example, I saw a programme for a PGdip in Advocacy which made me open this thread.

No offence bro,but it will be a cold day in Hell before you get admitted for a PGD with pass. Nigeria/Nigerians and their grade issues. Pass is way too low for such admission. My humble advise is that you go for another HND or possibly a DE with your ND ie if you made at least an upper credit. No offence. Thanks
