The Postgraduate Programme, now in its sixth year, is an intensive practitioner-led, University qualification in Genealogical Studies, offered online. The programme is aimed at existing or intending professional genealogists and those who wish to be recognised as such, or those who wish to study the area in detail and possibly use it in their careers. 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, documents, palaeography 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.
