15 Synopsis of Diploma Postgraduate, Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Degree Regulation Posttgraduatte Diiplloma and Diiplloma Posttgraduatte:: Theiir Diisttiincttiion and Assessmentt Requiirementt Delegates studying courses of 5-9 days duration, equivalent to Credit Hours (direct lecturer contact), will, on successful assessment, lead to the Diploma Postgraduate. This represents a single credit at Postgraduate Level. While 6-day and 7-day courses also lead to a Diploma Postgraduate, they accumulate 36 and 42 Credit Hours, respectively. Delegates and students who fail to gain the required level of pass, at Postgraduate Level will receive a Certificate of Attendance and Participation. The Certificate of Attendance and Participation will not count, for cumulative purpose, towards the Postgraduate Diploma. Courses carry varying credit values; some being double credit, triple credit, quad credit and 5- credit, etc. These, therefore, accumulate to a Postgraduate Diploma. As is explained, later, in this document, a Postgraduate Diploma is awarded to students and delegates who have achieved the minimum of 360 Credit Hours, within the required level of attainment. Credit Value and Credit Hours examples of Diploma Postgraduate Courses are as follows: Crediitt Vallue Crediitt Hours Single-Credit Double-Credit Triple-Credit Quad-Credit Credit (X36 Credit-Hours) to 12- Credit (X30 Credit-Hours) 360 P. 15

16 Other Credit Values are calculated proportionately. Because of the intensive nature of our courses and programmes, assessment will largely be incourse, adopting differing formats. These assessment formats include, but not limited to, inclass tests, assignments, end of course examinations. Based on these assessments, successful candidates will receive the Diploma Postgraduate, or Postgraduate Diploma, as appropriate. In the case of Diploma Postgraduate, a minimum of 70% overall pass is expected. In order to receive the Award of Postgraduate Diploma, candidate must have accumulated at least the required minimum credit-hours, with a pass (of 70% and above) in at least 70% of the courses taken. Delegates and students who fail to achieve the requirement for Postgraduate Diploma, or Diploma - Postgraduate - will be given support for 2 re-submissions for each course. Those delegates who fail to achieve the assessment requirement for the Postgraduate Diploma or Diploma - Postgraduate - on 2 resubmissions, or those who elect not to receive them, will be awarded the Certificate of Attendance and Participation. Diiplloma Posttgraduatte,, Posttgraduatte Diiplloma and Posttgraduatte Degree Applliicattiion Requiirementts Applicants for Diploma Postgraduate, Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Degrees are required to submit the following documents: Completed Postgraduate Application Form, including a passport sized picture affixed to the form; A copy of Issue and Photo (bio data) page of the applicant s current valid passport or copy of his or her Photo-embedded National Identity Card; Copies of credentials mentioned in the application form. P. 16

17 Admiissiion and Enrollmentt Procedure On receipt of all the above documents we will make an assessment of the applicants suitability for the Programme for which they have applied; If they are accepted on their Programme of choice, they will be notified accordingly and sent Admission Letters and Invoices; One week after the receipt of an applicant s payment or official payment notification, the relevant Programme Tutor will contact him or her, by or telephone, welcoming him or her to HRODC Postgraduate Training Institute; Non-European Students will be sent immigration documentation, incorporating a Visa Support Letter. This letter will bear the applicant s photograph and passport details; Applicants will be notified of the dates, location and venue of enrolment and orientation; Non-UK students will be sent general information about student life in the UK and Accommodation details. Modes off Sttudy ffor Posttgraduatte Diiplloma Courses There are three delivery formats for Postgraduate Diploma Courses, as follows: 1. Intensive Full-time Mode (3 months); 2. Full-time Mode (6 month); 3. Video-Enhanced On-Line Mode. Whichever study mode is selected, the aggregate of 360 Credit Hours must be achieved. P. 17

18 Cumullattiive Posttgraduatte Diiplloma Courses All short courses can accumulate to the required number of hours, for the Postgraduate Diploma, over a six-year period from the first registration and applies to both general and specialist groupings. In this regard, it is important to note that short courses vary in length, the minimum being 5 days (Diploma Postgraduate) equivalent to 30 Credit Hours, representing one credit. Twelve 5-day short courses, representing twelve credits or the equivalent of 360 Credit Hours are, therefore, required for the Award of Postgraduate Diploma. A six-day course (Diploma Postgraduate) is, therefore, equivalent to 36 hours Credit Hours, representing one credit. Therefore, ten short courses, of this duration, equates to the required 360 Credit Hours, qualifying for the Award of Postgraduate Diploma. While double-credit courses last between ten and fourteen days, triple-credit courses range from fifteen to nineteen days. Similarly, quad-credit courses are from sixteen to nineteen days. On this basis, the definitive calculation on the Award requirement is based on the number of hours studied (aggregate credit-value), rather than merely the number of credits achieved. This approach is particularly useful when a student or delegate studies a mixture of courses of different creditvalues. For those delegates choosing the accumulative route, it is advisable that at least two credits be attempted per year. This will ensure that the required number of credit hours for the Postgraduate diploma is achieved within the six-year time frame. Progressiion tto Posttgraduatte Degree MA,, MBA,, MSc On the successful completion of the Postgraduate Diploma, delegates may register for the Masters Degree, after their successful completion of Course #7: Research Project: Design, Conduct & Report. P. 18

19 The Delegates Degree Registration Category will be dictated by the courses or modules studied at Postgraduate Diploma Level. The categories relate to Master of Business Administration (MBA); Master of Arts (MA) Master of Science (MSc); Executive Master of Business Administration (Executive MBA).
