The Postgraduate Diploma in Management Practice specialising in Compliance Management is practical in its emphasis. This course was specially designed to challenge students to apply their newfound knowledge and skills to situations in their own organisations. This means that inter-modular work is as important as what happens in the classroom during each of the four modules.
Each module offers an intensive mix of lectures, group work and individual time to integrate learning, and students will need to give 100% of their time and attention to the work at hand while they are on campus. Between modules, they will need to allow sufficient time in their schedule to work on assignments and prepare for the next module.
Work throughout the course is assessed by both individual and group assignments. An individual assignment must be completed before the first contact day of each module, while a group integrated case study must be submitted on the last day of each module.
Lastly, students must work on an action learning research project that integrates and consolidates what they learn throughout the programme.
