IDD has designed its Graduate Diploma programmes to meet the requirements of every prospective or current employee in the development sector. However each course allows the choice of optional modules, giving students the ability to customise their chosen course further. From 2006-7 we are offerering nine Graduate Diploma programmes.

The Graduate Diploma provides entry for applicants without the required qualifications for the direct entry onto a Masters Course. Graduate Diploma students, who consistently perform well, may be transferred to the Masters programme and proceed to complete a dissertation withing the same academic year. Interm qualifications at Masters level may also be awarded. These are the Postgraduate Diploma and the Postgraduate Certificate.
