Information for applicants
The DipGrad is intended for students who have earned a degree. In some cases a student who has not earned a degree may also be eligible.
Contact the DipGrad Director for advice on your options, if you are thinking of doing a DipGrad.
You will then need to complete the online application process to apply for the DipGrad programme and select your papers. This is the usual enrolment process that starts with an online application and ends with a form for course approval. This form needs to be signed by the DipGrad Director.
While the DipGrad requires you to do at least seven papers, of which at least four are at 300-level, not all papers at the University are worth 18 points, so the regulations regarding the DipGrad are given directly in terms of points.
Summary of application process:
- Contact the Director
- Submit an online application form
- When you receive your form for course approval, go to the Director to have it signed
