What's the difference between GC, GD and PGD in New Zealand? What are the benefits of separation?

Students studying in New Zealand are confused about New Zealand diplomas, especially GC, GD and PGD. Fortunately, GC is an undergraduate, usually half a year. You can get a bachelor's degree after graduation, and you can directly enter the GD course after completion. GD is aimed at students who have no professional background and want to apply for postgraduate majors, while PGD is aimed at university graduates who have obtained bachelor's degrees. Professional background requirements are consistent. The following study abroad gives you a brief introduction to the difference between GC GD PGD in New Zealand.

New Zealand GC course: it is a bachelor's certificate course, generally half a year. You can get a bachelor's degree after graduation, and you can directly enter the GD course after completion. New Zealand GD course: post-bachelor diploma, not available in China. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of students. One is to get a bachelor's degree, but interested in another major and want to study for graduate students. Because there is no undergraduate foundation, they take a one-year GD course as a bridge, so GD is also called postgraduate preparatory course. The other is a local with a job. For further study, they studied a GD. GD is a 1 year system, which compresses the core curriculum of this major for three years. Although it is not as high as a three-year education, it can guarantee that you have a foundation.

Academic advantages: the courses studied are the core courses for undergraduate students. Take these professional core courses out and put them in the graduate diploma, which will be completed within one year, and it is also a condensed version of the undergraduate course. As long as the school is a officially recognized university or college, China Education Bureau will recognize the postgraduate diploma. It is also easier to get a visa with this admission notice, so it is short and fast for applicants who want to immigrate. Employment advantage: you can find a job after completing one year of GD course. If you want to continue your studies, you can study directly for a master's degree. At the same time, if you get good grades, you can apply for a master's degree directly. If your grades are average, you can apply for a graduate diploma (some schools regard it as a teaching graduate).

The difference between GC GD PGD in New Zealand is as follows: The full name of PGD in New Zealand is Post Graduate Diploma, which is designed for university graduates with bachelor's degrees. This diploma must be in the same field or major as the bachelor's degree, and the course of study is equivalent to the master's degree year in New Zealand. After completing the course, you can get a one-year work visa or continue to study for a master's degree. Employment advantages: New Zealand students who have obtained a master's degree have no influence on the evaluation of employment and immigration performance in New Zealand in the future, and are generally recognized as "local education in New Zealand". Advantages of further studies: during the period of studying for a master's diploma, the average score is above B, and you are eligible to transfer to a master's degree the following year. One year's credit for a graduate diploma is regarded as one year's credit for a master's degree, and you can get a master's degree after completing another year's master's course.
