Genealogical Studies

Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma in Genealogical Studies by distance learning

The Postgraduate Certificate addresses the need for an intensive, practitioner-led, University-level qualification in Genealogical Studies. It is intended for those with an existing interest in Genealogy and related subjects, or those who wish to study the area in detail and possibly use it in their careers. It deals mainly, but not exclusively, with British subject matter.  The Postgraduate Diploma takes these subjects further and addresses overseas records in more detail.  Entry to the Postgraduate Diploma is by successful completion of the Postgraduate Certificate, and by invitation. The course is aimed at existing or intending professional genealogists and those who wish to be recognised as such. It will also be particularly appropriate for the following professionals:

• Archivists
• Museum staff
• Land Agents
• Lawyers and Paralegals
• Librarians
• Records Agents
• Historians
• Geographers

and for those who are interested in:

• developing, evaluating or refreshing their expertise in genealogy, records, archives and heraldry
• advancing their academic and professional achievement in these subjects
• gaining a deeper, more critical understanding of the field, its literature and professional practice
• providing more expert knowledge and advisory capacity to employers and members of the public, such as in Family History Centres.
  

On completion of the Certificate and Diploma you should have a suitable portfolio to submit to various certification boards and other bodies for professional accreditation.

Next courses commence October 2010.
