Recently while ruminating on what career path to choose from available options, I came across post-graduate diplomas I could take up into some other fields. Apart from the purpose of upgrading a deficient degree, what does a post-graduate diploma entail (preferrably with respect to the society)?
I'll be grateful for well-meaning responses.

Kindly. don't hesitate to comment if you know what it's about.

Post graduate diploma in what course and country?

In...

ayaomoade: Post graduate diploma in what course and country?

Say...any engineering field; Nigeria (specificaly Chemical Engineering)

For example, can I get an Msc in Chemical engineering with a postgraduate diploma in chem eng?

A postgraduate Diploma is offered to students who are moving fro one field of study to another
For example if you are an engineer and want to become a teacher a pgd in education would do

Thanks but don't you think those who have their first degrees in those fields are preferred to those who 'switched'?

For anyone switching to another field of study basically two things are involved
the first is wanting to be fulfilled
while the other is the prospects that abound in such field.
For any advertised position competency is what is required whether you have a first or postgraduate degree in that field as a HR person i can say that we do not have any particular order of preference for any candidate possessing a required certificate either as a first degree or a postgraduate degree

switching to courses in sciences from education depends on the school and credits you have in that field you are switching to.This can be determined by your courses taken at the undergraduate level.
However if you have enough credit loads to be admitted into Msc the school will not hesitate but most science education courses have a balance of Education and sciences in almost equal proportion at first degree so for someone taking sciences and his counterpart in education the odds are that the man in science will have more science credits than the education student hereby making it compulsory for the education to take either a pgd before switching or if the school is magnanimous in granting Msc admission you will be required to do extra loads to meet up.
