AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

Some Australian and New Zealand universities offer a Postgraduate Diploma ('''PostGradDip'''). The Graduate Diploma is then used for additional studies at an undergraduate level or studies in a new field while the Postgraduate Diploma indicates graduate level studies or advanced studies in an already familiar field. A Bachelor's Degree is typically required, although in some cases an Advanced Diploma is sufficient. People with extensive experience but without formal qualifications may be admitted, although usually the completion of a Graduate Certificate is required first.

This could be a Vocational course studied after an Academic Degree , such as the Legal Practice Course , the resulting diploma allows the student to become a Trainee Solicitor in a law firm. Alternatively, Postgraduate Diplomas allow a Graduate Student to study a new academic subject at degree level, but in a compacted space of time. For example, the Law Conversion Course allows a postgraduate student to sqeeze the important components of a three year Undergraduate law degree, into only 9 months. Posgraduate Diplomas that last a year or longer are often considered equivalent to a Masters degree.
