The PGCertWBI is a level 8 programme of 60 credits which enables those who have completed a bachelor’s degree to achieve a postgraduate level qualification in the wine business and innovation area.
The programme can be completed in six months full-time or up to two years part-time, depending on your previous study and experience, and specific course preferences. It can act as an entry point into the master’s degree for those who don’t initially meet the entry requirements, and need to demonstrate their ability to study at postgraduate level. Alternatively, those who initially enrolled on the master’s degree and are not in a position to complete it, may transfer applicable courses to the postgraduate certificate for the purposes of qualification completion.
