Postgraduate Diploma Programme: Multi-year, blended learning format
This multi-year (minimum 2 years), blended learning mode of the postgraduate diploma programme, "Technical Conservation Studies", essentially takes the form of a modular, distance-learning programme, initiated and supplemented by occasional, contact learning block sessions at the Institute's Twee Riviere campus. This modular route to graduation requires a minimum of two academic years to complete, though a more extended time frame will not be unusual.
This format of presentation is adapted to the candidate whom has competing personal or vocational commitments, is otherwise not free to dedicate a 10-month period to full-time studying, or elects to spread the financial burden over multiple years.
Entry prerequisites are identical irrespective of format.
