Postgraduate Certificates

A Postgraduate Certificate is worth 60 credits and can be achieved by successfully completing taught modules from your chosen scheme. 

If you intend to complete a PGCert you should apply for the MSc in the chosen Scheme. You may then exit with a PGCert. Please note, if you exit with a PGCert or PGDip you will not be able these credits towards a master's qualification.

We have three PGCerts on offer:

  • For students who register on either MSc Sustainable Agriculture or MSc Agrifood Innovation but exit with a certificate, the title of the PGCert award will be “Agricultural Innovation”.
  • PGCert Nuffield Scholarship 
  • PGCert Livestock Science is slightly different in that all three modules are core (see below):
