Diploma graduate programs provide professional qualifications for a higher level of work responsibility with an emphasis on theory and the development of transferable skills. Some programs are vocational, leading to careers in clearly identified areas (e.g. logistics) while others are 'generalist', with no particular industrial skills component.
The style of teaching may consist of tutorials, seminars, practical workshops and work experience placements (for full-time local student).
Diploma programs make up the majority of working adults. A diploma typically takes one years (part-time), and students graduate with a Diploma qualification… and an Brookes Diploma is an extremely useful qualification to have—Brookes Diploma graduates emerge from their studies with a high level of skills, a sophisticated understanding of their field, and the ability to think creatively.
Double diploma combine two specialized into one program, usually of two years' duration. This allows students to complete two awards in a reduced amount of time.
Many work environments call for more than one set of skills. Double diploma provides students with strong abilities and knowledge. For instance, in the accounting field, it's common for qualified accountants to move quickly into management roles. Diploma graduates of the double diploma in Accounting / Human Resource Management would have an advantage in this situation. Dual awards combine a Diploma graduate and a Certificate award. This gives students the best of both worlds—the theory and critical analysis of Diploma graduate study with the hands-on.
