Transfer options between GDip and MSc programs
Students who enter the GDip program may request to transfer to the MSc program. Such requests will be granted if the student is admissible to the MSc program and if the student has made the request early enough to be able to complete the project course (AGHE 898) in the same year. The last date for this transfer will be announced in late August of each year.
Students who enter the MSc program may request to transfer to the GDip program. Whether they complete in 8 months or 12 months will depend on their course selection and completion.
Whether a student wishes to transfer to the MSc from the GDip, or the GDip to the MSc, they must make an application to the respective program and pay the application fee, before a determination of admissibility by the program can be made.
