Announcement

UK Higher Education Commission has announced on 2nd May 2006 that from May 2006, UK HEC will conduct PG Diploma Exam in Pakistan.

The PGDip may be the best choice for the students if they wish to complete the full taught component of a masters course but do not wish to do an individual research project.

Benefits of the course

• An opportunity to obtain a postgraduate diploma whilst pursuing a career

• Enhanced technical and management skills

• Exemption from Many UK, USA, Canada & Australia Universities

• Contact with students from different sectors of the industry and countries

• The potential for career development



Entry requirements

The courses are designed to accommodate students from a broad spectrum of backgrounds.

For PG Diploma level entry, students must hold a degree in a suitable subject or currently in any degree program (for e.g. BCOM, BA, BBA, BCS,BE,MBBS, MBA, MCOM, MA, MCS and etc.)



Assessment and examinations

Assessment is by a mixture of course work, project work and examinations. Written work will be marked by a tutor, and you will receive detailed commentary on your assignments, which will provide valuable feedback for future work.



Three integrating exams will be taken on completion of the degree, normally in July, which account for 20% of the overall degree mark.



An additional piece of work is required to satisfy the credit rating for the PGDip. One option is to undertake a group project. The Group Project serves to integrate the concepts from the modules in an applied context. Working as a team, student will produce a consultancy report on a real-life issue. An alternative is to do an extended essay or mini-research project based on your own interest area or perhaps based around a work-based scenario.



Examinations are held twice a year in July and October. The deadline dates for examination applications are 1 July and 1 October for the July and October diets, respectively.



Examination centres will be established in local areas, if possible. These centres may be based at local universities, British Consulates or Marriot Hotel.



Fees

The Current fee for the exam is £85.



How to apply

Applications will be considered throughout the year and, where all necessary information has been supplied, a decision will be reached within four to six weeks of application.
