Please note that:

AGCAS courses are run by AGCAS and separately charged.
For publicity purposes, the Career Development Theories; Employer/Entrepreneur Engagement and Labour Markets; Marketing Communications and Engagement; and Research in Professional Practice workshops are advertised in the AGCAS calendar but are not run by AGCAS and do not carry a separate charge.

Former students now occupy a range of roles in higher education careers work including management, education and career coaching. Many students progress from the PG Diploma CEIGHE to the MA CEIGHE. If you wish to continue to the MA, you may wish to choose the optional module Research in Professional Practice on the Diploma to avoid taking an extra module on the MA.
