Course Overview
Like the Global College Malta Postgraduate Certificate in Management, the Postgraduate Diploma in Management allows you to take more advanced steps to obtain a Masters qualification in Business and Management at the College whilst keeping your future study options open. It is an ideal progamme if you are unable to commit to undertaking a full Masters qualification in one go.
The College’s Postgraduate Diploma in Management programme takes 8 months to complete and has been developed to provide you with a critical and detailed understanding of strategic management and to provide you with a clear pathway to the achievement of a full Masters qualification. You will study essential functional business elements and you will develop an understanding of the cross-functional nature of organisations and the collaborative nature of organisational decision making.
You will be taught by College academic staff who combine teaching and research and who bring the latest knowledge and skills to their teaching. Studying in small groups allows extensive opportunities for teamwork and building your professional networks with tutors and fellow business practitioners.
The Postgraduate Diploma will get you to think creatively and innovatively and will test out your ideas and strategies through in-class simulations, group work and individual study.
Prior to entering the Master’s programme of study with the College, applicants should normally possess:
- A good degree from a recognised university institution or equivalent recognised higher education institution. Whilst a degree in a subject broadly related to Business and Management is advantageous, this is not essential. The application process will carefully consider the suitability of the student to successfully complete the programme based on the information provided. Where appropriate, a discussion will be held with the applicant to determine their suitability, or
- A graduate level professional qualification from a recognised University institution or appropriate comparable recognised higher education institution. A graduate level professional qualification in a subject broadly related to Business and Management is advantageous. The application process will carefully consider the suitability of the student to successfully complete the programme based on the information provided. Where appropriate, a discussion will be held with the applicant to determine their suitability, or
- Where appropriate, a pre-master’s orientation programme approved by Global College Malta.
Students whose first Language is not English and who have not previously been exposed to spoken and written English at a reasonably advanced level will normally be required to demonstrate an English competence of IELTS 6.0 or equivalent. The College may undertake a video interview with the prospective student to better understand their English proficiency and, where appropriate, may also require a Medium of Instruction certificate from the student’s previous educational institution. The English language proficiency requirement may be waived if the student is a native speaker of English and they have completed their secondary education in a country where English is the official language or English was the language of instruction where they graduated.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to have two or more years’ relevant work experience, although this need not necessarily be continuous, and may have been undertaken on a voluntary or unpaid basis.
