What is a diploma? How do Diplomas differ?

When the first question of What is a diploma? has been answered, the next one immediately arises: ‘How do the Higher Education Diplomas differ from one college to another?’

The answer to the query is ‘They don’t’. Generally the course material differs from a place to place, but the rules, such as the courses duration, a diploma to being lower than the degree qualification, etc. are the same. A Diploma can be rewarded for a variety of courses.

The Higher National Diploma is a vocational qualification (work-related qualification, where the more practical is given to the students rather than theory) which is just the same as a Diploma  of Higher Education. The Diploma of Higher Education is considered to be a Higher Education award that is below the standard of a Bachelor’s Degree, at the same level as a Foundation Degree. A Graduate Diploma is a one-year course qualification at Bachelor Degree level. This Graduate Diploma is normally taken by those who have already obtained a degree, just to have practical experience.

A Postgraduate Diploma is something more than a Higher Education award, at the level of a Master’s Degree, which is comparatively of lesser duration. Some universities also offer University of Cambridge Undergraduate Diploma that is of a 1-year part-time course, which is the equivalent to a Higher Education Diploma. Even these Universities have Advanced Diploma which is equivalent to a Graduate Diploma.

A National Diploma is a standard academic qualification that is offered by the universities and colleges in the UK. Most of the National Diplomas are rated at level 3 on the National Qualifications Framework, but there are some that count as level 4 or 5 of Higher Education qualifications. Among these different levels, level 6 has been rated as a Professional National Diploma that is usually awarded by an independent body, which recognizes specialist study in a particular field.
