Postgraduate Diploma in Science in Management Practice

Programme Purpose

The Postgraduate Diploma in Science in Management Practice programme (60 ECTS, NFQ Level 9) is an embedded exit award from the Master of Science in Management Practice (90 ECTS, NFQ Level 9). The programme comprises 60 ECTS, which is all the ten taught modules without the Capstone electives (Dissertation or Placement). It is offered to learners who do not progress to, or do not wish to complete, the elective in the full Masters programme. The Postgraduate Diploma in Science in Management Practice can be completed in one academic year by full-time learners and eighteen months by part-time learners. The overall aim of the programme is to provide graduates with the opportunity to attain a Level 9 award if they cannot complete the Capstone Elective of this programme for personal or professional reasons. Therefore, the Postgraduate Diploma in Science in Management Practice (60 ECTS, NFQ Level 9) is offered only as an exit award from the Masters programme. On completion of this programme, learners will have the management skills necessary to move into various management roles in industry. They will gain an understanding of key management issues, how to apply innovative management processes and techniques, and how to critically evaluate and deploy a range of management tools and models in strategic decision-making in an organisation. Learners will also gain competencies in general management practices with an emphasis on business ethics and sustainability. Through the assignments and projects as part of the assessment criteria, learners will develop independent research and problem-solving skills which will be valuable in a variety of contexts in the workplace.
