      Postgraduate Diploma Programs in Sociology

      A postgraduate diploma is given after the study of courses at a graduate level. It is similar to a master’s but with fewer units completed. Students use this diploma as a way to differentiate themselves after undergraduate study in terms of knowledge as well as marketability.

      What is a postgraduate diploma in sociology? Sociology refers to the study of society from a local on up to a global level. Included within this are such basic concepts as class, culture, gender, race, and how they are reflected in mass media and politics. You will study interaction on all levels, individually, within groups and even on a national level. It is a good way to further differentiate yourself into an area of interest, for example, if you want to go find employment within government or at a nonprofit.

      Studying sociology at an advanced level will make you more attractive than a job candidate with only an undergraduate degree, as well as raise your potential starting salary. Besides the career advantages, studying sociology enhances your ability to understand and work with all types of people and within various types of groups locally and internationally.

      The cost of your postgraduate diploma will depend on the program you choose, the institution that offers it and the location of that institution. You can often save money by opting for an online course of study.

      There is a wide range of employment opportunities, depending on your area of specialty. Among the hiring industries are such diverse areas as communications, nonprofit, government, journalism, research, marketing, consulting, project management, youth development, teaching, community development and policy analysis. With respect to government, you might be hired at the community, city or national level.
