If someone graduates with a Bachelors degree but doesn't take the diploma because he wants to apply for financial aid for his Masters does this make any sense?

Sometimes you can get more financial aid if you do not yet have a degree. However, they ask for transcripts and those are going to say BA/BS awarded. The diploma is just something that you can hang. The problem with taking graduate classes as an undergrad is that you won't get the masters degree credit for those classes--you just did advanced work for your bachelors. I did about the same thing in taking graduate level courses in English for my English Lit degree--there was nothing to take to get a masters in the field!


Is postgraduate diploma equal to master's degree?

It depends on what the diploma is in, and where the diploma was taken. New comment- It depends on country to country, university to university and one subject/major to another. for example in India, Postgraduate diploma(PGD) has same duration usually 2-3 years as in Masters degree. And as employment point of view it is equal too. However, Majority of people/employers/government prefer Masters degree over PGD as it seems more reliable. The reason is Masters degree is offered by only those Universities/colleges who are accredited, approved and recognized by Trustful organisations(UGC,DEC,AICTE) monitored by government. PGD is also accredited with same organization BUT with different clauses/laws and rules and PGD universities mostly are deemed universities. Admission eligibilty for PGD and masters degree is same :- Any Bachelors degree is required(in honours/pass/normal degree/second class degree,etc). PurplechaP

Is diploma equivalent to a degree in Jamaica?

If the question is in relation to Jamaica in the West Indies, then you have diplomas of different types. You have professional diplomas, some of which are considered equivalent to a Bachelors Degree; you have post-graduate diplomas that are post-Bachelors, post-masters, or post-doctoral degrees; then you have 1,2,3 year diplomas that are not equivalent to degrees but can be used to assess credit and exemptions for a Bachelors Degree or Bachelors Completion Degree. It can get a bit complicated. So for each diploma make sure you ask, so you know beforehand which category it falls into. There is also the University Council of Jamaica to check with to sort it all out.


What is the difference between an advance diploma in business management and a postgraduate diploma in business management?

In terms of college, a diploma does not meet the credit requirement of a degree. Still, the diploma may be a specialty and focused on career oriented course work. For example, a diploma in Practical Nursing. Postgraduate programs of study are those areas that are taken after graduate course work (masters or doctorate) and also are typically focused on a specialty within a profession, however at an advance level.
