What Comes After the Diploma? (Employment or Bachelor’s Degree)
Upon successful completion of the diploma requirements, graduates may pursue one of two main pathways:
a. Entry into the Labour Market
Thanks to the applied nature of the curriculum and the intensive practical training it includes, diploma graduates acquire the skills, knowledge, and practical competencies that enable them to enter the labour market directly and perform efficiently in their fields of specialisation, benefiting from the hands-on experience gained during their studies.
b. Continuing Studies at the Bachelor’s Level
Diploma graduates may enrol in Bachelor’s degree programmes corresponding to their specialisations. They possess a solid academic foundation that qualifies them for admission at advanced levels of study.
According to academic regulations, approximately 48 credit hours may be accredited towards the Bachelor’s degree plan, provided that the student successfully passes one of the following:
The National Comprehensive Diploma Examination: Open to all bridging specialisations with a minimum score of 68%, except for engineering and pharmacy programmes, which require a minimum of 70%.
The Qualifying Examination designated for graduates of British BTEC diploma programmes.
This flexibility allows diploma graduates the freedom to choose between entering the labour market directly or continuing their academic journey towards a Bachelor’s degree.
