A postgraduate diploma (Grad.Dip.), or graduate diploma, lasts for 1 to 2 years and is a post bachelor degree qualification, sitting between an undergraduate qualification and masters program. A PG diploma will help improve your job prospects by building upon your existing subject knowledge.
A Post-Baccalaureate Diploma is ideal for candidates who hold a bachelor's degree and wish to upgrade or further current skills. If you have already completed university study in your home country, this diploma is the ideal way to boost your previous education via a recognised Canadian qualification.

A Research degree requires students to take responsibility for work and submit a thesis for their research work under the supervision of an academic guide. The most popular research degree is a PhD, which can take 4-7 years to complete.
