    Postgraduate Certificate Programs in Theater studies

    A postgraduate certificate is a program of study that usually follows a bachelor’s degree. It generally offers master’s degree-level coursework with no research or thesis requirement. As such, it is ideal for those who wish to gain additional skills for the job market but are not necessarily interested in continuing on to a PhD.
