Can I study for a Certificate or a Diploma rather than an MSc or MA?
The Dip/MA in Professional Studies allows you to register for a Diploma rather than an MA if you wish. You are then registered to take Stage 1 of the course only. If you register for an MA, you are intending to take Stage 2 also. None of the other masters course at the School have the option of registering for a Certificate or a Diploma, so you are registering to take both Stage 1 and 2. However, having completed Stage 1 and earned 120 credits you are permitted to opt out of stage 2 and accept a Postgraduate Diploma. Also, if you have obtained credits for the teaching modules in Stage 1 but failed to obtain credits for all the project modules, you may be offered a Postgraduate Certificate. In such a case you would be able to apply for a refund of any fees you had paid towards stage 2.
