1. A diploma is a qualification at the undergraduate or non-degree level that builds on defined prior qualifications or experience and includes a sequential series of papers as part of the course.
2. A graduate diploma is a qualification at the undergraduate or non-degree level that builds on defined prior qualifications or experience and includes a sequential series of papers as part of the programme. A graduate diploma comprises a coherent course which includes the requirement that one-half or more of the papers or other work prescribed shall be at the 300-level or higher.
3. A postgraduate diploma is a qualification that builds on attainment in the prior degree and is open to graduates (or those granted admission equivalent to a graduate on the basis of their completed academic work). A postgraduate diploma comprises a coherent course which includes the requirement that the papers or other work prescribed shall be in advance of the 300-level.

The master's degree is at least 240 credits, except where it builds on 4 years of prior study at bachelor's degree level or above, in which case it can be fewer than 240 but no fewer than 120 credits.
