Questions, answered

Who can apply?

Students, graduates and working professionals. Level 4 modules need no prior background in the subject. Levels 5 and 6 build on the earlier levels, and each module page says who it is for.

Do I have to take all three modules?

No. You can take a single module on its own if you have the background it assumes, and you receive a UWL Certificate of Completion for it. Only completing all three modules earns the WisGrad Certified Professional award.

What prior knowledge do I need for a single module?

Level 4 needs no prior background. For Levels 5 and 6 you need the knowledge covered by the earlier level, from completing it or from equivalent experience. An admissions officer assesses this when you enquire.

In what order do I take the modules for the full programme?

Level 4, then Level 5, then Level 6. The three modules run one after another.

How long is a module, and how long is the full programme?

Each module is a 40-day intensive, taught at weekends. The three modules of a programme run back to back and are planned to be completed in around four months, subject to the delivery schedule.
