Gain a more in-depth understanding of your scientific subject area and boost your career opportunities with a PGCertSc. The Certificate will take you one trimester of full-time study to complete, or two trimesters if you study part time. During this time, you can further develop your subject knowledge, data analysis expertise, or skills in science communication. The programme can also provide a pathway into Master’s study. You’ll take courses worth a total of 60 points, and with some subjects you may be able to do a 30-point research project. If you want to gain advanced scientific knowledge-and if you have at least a B-average Bachelor’s degree or professional experience in your subject area-then a PGCertSc is a good option for you.
