Career Education, Information and Guidance in Higher Education
A Postgraduate Award (PGA) is made up of one 20 credit module and taken as a stand alone qualification. Once you have received the award, you can apply for a longer course within the Career Education, Information and Guidance in Higher Education suite and apply for the transfer of your credit.

The following Postgraduate Awards are currently available:
| Course (PGA) code | Module title |
