Professional Courses

Glamorgan offers an impressive range of professional courses, from nursing degrees to accountancy certificates.

A postgraduate qualification is obligatory in some jobs and, for those in which it is not, additional qualifications generally command higher salaries.

Having a postgraduate or professional qualification is also likely to increase your likelihood of obtaining a job in a professional or managerial field.

While 30% of graduates with first degrees secure such a job, this figure rises to 45% for masters graduates and 81% of research graduates.

Even if you don’t want a managerial career, recent research highlighted that most graduates with higher degrees or diplomas were in work or further study within a year of completing a course.

Many of Glamorgan’s courses come with accreditation from professional bodies or exemption from the examinations such bodies require from those looking to join their industry.

For example, in the Glamorgan Business School, the Graduate Diploma course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS) Centre of Excellence thanks to various academic achievements, predominantly quality of course provision and exam pass rates.
