Information about Postgraduate Certificate

A Postgraduate certificate is generally a postgraduate qualification designed to provide students with specialized knowledge that is less extensive than a Postgraduate diploma or Master's degree. Although qualification specifications vary depending on country, a certificate program represents a focused collection of courses that, when completed, affords the student a record of academic accomplishment in a given discipline or set of related disciplines.

In the UK, a postgraduate certificate typically represents 60 academic credits, whereas a postgraduate diploma is 120 credits and a full Master's is 180 credits.

Pograduate certificates are usually abbreviated PGCert, PG Cert, PgCert, or PGC.
