Graduate Diploma (GradDip)

Admission | Requirements | Subjects | Calendar Regulations

Students who do not have a substantial component of a particular subject in their undergraduate degree can enrol in a Graduate Diploma to prepare them for graduate study in that subject. The Graduate Diploma can also be taken for interest.

The Graduate Diploma is available to meet the needs of graduates who wish to broaden and deepen their knowledge in a selected area of study other than that in which they majored for the Bachelors degree. The GradDip may also be taken as a useful graduate qualification in its own right, adding another dimension to a student’s undergraduate study.

Admission

The admission requirement for the GradDip is a Bachelors degree of the University of Waikato, or a qualification considered by the Academic Board to be equivalent. Or, demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Academic Board that they have adequate training, experience and ability to proceed with the proposed programme.
