Career Opportunities
The Diploma (and the Certificate option) will aim to foster your intellectual, analytical, critical and organisational skills that will be of value in any future career. While a diploma/certificate cannot be compared to an undergraduate degree, the experience of History graduates in recent years shows that there are many and varied work environments where a proper grounding in History is an asset and much appreciated. Furthermore, it is envisaged that it may be possible for you to transfer some of your study-units towards a degree in History, or the Bachelor of Arts in Humanities, should you decide to persevere with your studies.
