Graduate Certificate either as a qualification in its own right as a graduating student or as a pathway on to a PGDip or MSc programme as a non-graduating student.\u00a0 Graduating students may also take the Graduate Diploma by choosing courses at a higher level.\u00a0 Non-graduating students have more flexibility in their course choices, and can opt for some lower-level courses.\u00a0 The Programme Director will advise students on appropriate choices for their pathways.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graduate Diploma<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You need to take 8 courses at level 9 or 10, and pass all of them at grade D or better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graduate Certificate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You need to take at least 6 courses, with at least 4 at level 9 or higher, pass them all at grade E or better, and with an overall average of at least 40%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Non-graduating pathways<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may choose to follow a non-graduating pathway within the Graduate Certificate programme, either to develop your mathematical qualifications and experience, or as entry route to a PGDip or MSc programme.\u00a0 Some typical pathways are given below: your choice of pathway and your course choices must be approved by the Programme Director.\u00a0\u00a0 All pathways require the study of at least six courses, and you may study up to eight: the same tuition fee applies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pathway on to the Actuarial Science PGDip\/MSc<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You must study at least six courses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mandatory
