Postgraduate Diploma in CommerceA one year full-time course, or part-time course over more than one year, structured to meet the student's needs. The regulations require 144 points in Management. This one-year course of study is similar to the Honours fourth year. Students who have not previously been eligible for Honours but who are now achieving a B+ average, may opt for this qualification. Entry requirementsEntry to the PGDipCom requires at least a B+ average in 72 points at MANT 300-level. Students are required to enrol in:
GradesThe award of final marks is by a committee of fourth year examiners. Any grades suggested by the teacher or supervisor are subject to change - both up and down. This process looks across an individual's record and also across the average marks for particular papers. There is always a second examiner for dissertations and projects. Ten percent of dissertations and projects will be subject to moderation for the purposes of quality control, after the event (marks will not be affected). The Diploma may be awarded with distinction (average A- (80%) or above) or with credit (average 73% and above). Further information is available on the main University website. See a list of recent PGDipCom dissertations. MeetingsThere will be an initial meeting of all 4th year BCom(Hons) and MBus students at 3.30 pm on March 2, 2012 in the Divisional Boardroom (CO419/420). A regular 'class time' will be negotiated for this group of students to meet thereafter. The purpose of forming such a class is to provide a support network; and an infrastructure for ensuring that research topics are carefully chosen and meet the specified requirements.
