Pls help kayalami/joseph/checkmate- Diploma vs masters degre

Post by puffdaddyfamily » Mon Sep 13, 2004 2:24 pm

Hi, I got my Postgraduate diploma in business administration assessed from NARIC and they who said it is comparable to post graduate diploma .Before this I had done bachelor of commerce and naric assessed that saying it is equivalent to British bachelor’s degree.
My question is how many points I can claim is it 25 or 15. Or only for masters degree you get 25 points and for post graduate diploma what is the point structure in spite of getting it assess from naric.
Thanks

IMHO you will only be awarded points for the bachelor's degree = 15 points. Post graduate studies in the HSMP context refers to a complete/ full Masters degree i.e. either MA, MSc, MEng, Mphil or a PhD that is of UK equivalent level. A post grad diploma is neither of any on this list. Sorry.
