If you are not yet 100% convinced about what you want to be, or what career you want to get into, studying our diploma courses may be the best way to move forward. Here are just a few reasons why our Diploma programs are a partway to your career development:
Most conventional university degrees involve a fair amount of theoretical studies, much of which might not have direct application in your professional life. On the other hand, our diploma courses cut to the chase and are extremely practice-oriented. They focus on building relevant skills which would be required for your future career.
Hence, it isn’t a surprise that our diploma courses are popular in many business-dominated countries. A research shows that about 48% of high-school graduates in the country look for admission in diploma programmes.
Our diploma programs are specially designed to provide you with real-life professional skills and expertise. Hence, you can pursue a diploma if you require specialised skills in a specific domain. For instance, a business management diploma can provide you with all the management skills needed to set up your own company.
Naturally, professional diplomas can enable you to earn a good salary post completing the course. They can also be a great alternative if you are currently working and wish to enhance your current package.
Conventional bachelor’s degrees usually have stringent entry criteria like a fixed age or high-school grade requirements. Therefore, you can expect the chances of your acceptance to be lower, especially if you don’t fit their eligibility criteria.
Diploma programs, on the other hand, have far fewer prerequisites. Most diploma programs have lower entry scores and can accept students with less-than standard scores.
The diploma programs offered by HIPDET have reasonable age and academic requirements. We also assess the applications of students with non-standard requirements on a case by case basis.
Undergraduate college programs require at least three years of full-time study. What if you’re unable to devote your entire time to your education and intend to pursue a course part-time? In that case, a conventional degree can take even more time.
However, the practical nature of diploma programs allows them to be much shorter and concise in comparison to regular bachelor’s programs. Most diploma programs last for one to two years which will enable you to enter the workforce sooner. You can also choose to pursue a part-time diploma in HIPDET if you wish to focus on your career at the same time.
The diploma courses’ benefits also include affordability and flexibility. A professional diploma is also a great way to update your existing knowledge and skills as well as familiarise yourself with the latest industry trends.
Diploma courses can be a good alternative for you if you are looking forward to join the workforce soon after graduating high school. The learning format is also suitable for those who are sure of their career selection and want specialised education instead of a general one.
What’s the bottom line? You should be looking at diploma courses if you want to build a career in a specific domain soon after secondary education. However, you should remember that you might miss out on some transferable skills and expertise which would have expanded your career horizon.

Bachelor Programs
A bachelor degree is a worthwhile investment that can assist you with fulfilling your lifelong educational and career goals. In the economy of today, it pays to take advantage of any opportunity to improve your prospects for long-term employment. Additionally, a bachelor degree can be the key to opening opportunities for people who may not otherwise have them. Since many companies require candidates to possess a college degree in order to be eligible to even be considered for employment, a bachelor degree helps distinguish graduates from those competing for positions within companies. Though it is possible that management will consider an individual without a degree if they have job experience and knowledge comparable to a bachelor degree program, having a bachelor degree is still preferable because it is easier to verify one’s qualifications and educational background.
Determining whether or not you should pursue a master’s degree can be a tough decision, regardless of if you’re a recent graduate or a seasoned professional.
It’s a time-consuming endeavour that requires a huge amount of self-motivation. It’s also a very serious financial commitment; naturally, you want to be certain that the benefits you’ll gain out of it are worth it.
Well, luckily, they are. Whatever your reasons for choosing to continue your education, a master’s degree can give you significant advantages over other graduates.
Master’s degrees are not cheap. Although costs vary between institutions, and you can get governmental or private funding, it’s important to take your current financial situation into account before committing to a programme. On the plus side, once you complete the course, you’ll get a pretty good return on your investment!
With HIPDET, you don’t need to bother about costs. All our master programs have been subsidized through our foundation and Partners. This makes all our qualified masters candidates to receive up to 80% scholarship for all our master programs.
Most people – especially those who already have decent CVs – do a master’s to progress to the next stage in their career. This might mean an MBA or a similar management qualification, or even something totally unrelated if you’re looking to change direction completely. Either way, a master’s can be used as a very valuable steppingstone.
Employers recognise the value of a master’s degree – some even make it a prerequisite, while in industries such as healthcare and education, they’re mandatory. But even in general terms, a master’s can set you apart from the crowd. ‘It does make you stand out a little more,’ argues marketing graduate Beth Nightingale, ‘Pretty much everyone now has a degree, but not many have a master’s.

The doctorate is the highest degree awarded in academia. The PhD degree signifies that you have attained the greatest level of competence in your field of study. The degree can also signal to employers that you have the requisite analytical skills to carry out rigorous research tasks, because doctoral studies usually include training in methodology and statistics. The PhD is important to obtain for employment and career considerations as well as for name recognition.
Our DBA program is a practice-based and professional doctorate degree with the same challenge and status as a PhD in Business Administration. In contrast to a PhD in Business Administration which requires professionals and students to develop existing theories in order to make a notable contribution to business scholarship, a DBA degree requires a considerable contribution to the academic knowledge that can be applied to the professional practice in a specific area of business. There are many reasons why a DBA degree is the best academic route to take.
