Career Development and Coaching Studies
A Postgraduate Award (PGA) is made up of one 20 credit module and taken as a stand alone qualification. Once you have completed the award, you can apply for the PG Certificate, PG Diploma or MA CDCS and apply for the transfer of your credit. You are advised to discuss this with the course team.
Studying a PGA involves engaging in a workshop, independent study and virtual learning. There is significant individual support available through the course team.
Multiple Start Dates
The course starts in April or October.
Flexible Approach
Our PGAs are part-time and take up to one year to complete. A flexible approach is adopted to enable attendance if you are based overseas and/or with full-time work or other responsibilities. Each 20 credit PGA is taught via a blend of workshop and distance-learning. Each workshop takes place at the University of Warwick, usually over two days. Please see below for the list of PGAs available and the 'Key Dates' button to check availability.
This course is designed for applicants from a wide range of backgrounds. This includes individuals who are currently involved in career development and coaching support, individuals who wish to work in these areas and/or those who are interested in studying for personal interest. Applicants must be able to produce written work of a good standard.
Overseas Applicants
We have welcomed students from a range of countries including the UK, Ireland, Norway, France, Germany, Romania, Slovenia, USA, China and Australia. You are invited to discuss the course options available with the course team.
Student VISAs
The University of Warwick is not currently sponsoring students on part time courses, including part time courses that are akin to distance learning, with a Student visa.
Therefore, we will NOT be able to produce a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for a part-time course.
