Differences between providers
Although many of the compulsory modules will be similar, each Diploma course will offer different compulsory modules and electives and will vary in terms of options and timetables. We recommend taking time to research the different universities offering the Diploma to ensure you are making an informed decision as to where you are going to apply.
We run a Virtual Diploma Fair annually to allow you to compare providers. This is now open for you to view. If you have any specific questions for Diploma providers, we recommend you get in touch with them directly.
