Diploma of Higher Education Open

Studying at university level is not just about gaining a degree. We also offer a range of other qualifications, including Certificates and Diplomas that are equivalent to the first and second years of undergraduate study. This Diploma of Higher Education is part of our unique Open qualifications programme – one of the most flexible in the UK – which enables you to mix and match any subjects you like, building a study profile to suit your particular needs and interests. The Open DipHE is the second stage of the programme, and is a nationally recognised award in its own right. You can also use it as a stepping stone towards an honours degree. The huge choice of modules means you can keep an open mind throughout – whether you decide to follow your enthusiasms, stretch yourself with a subject you’ve never considered before, or focus on something useful for your career (or all three!). If you’re uncertain right now of where your future lies, the Open DipHE is an excellent choice. You’ll gain specialist understanding of your chosen subject(s), the critical and analytical skills needed for further study, and a valuable qualification that’s highly rated by employers.
