Diploma of Higher Education
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE) is a higher education qualification in the United Kingdom. It is awarded after two years full-time study at a university or other higher education institution. They certify that a student has achieved a minimum standard in 1st and 2nd Year courses.
It is the academic equivalent of the more vocational Higher National Diploma, awarded following further education and training courses.
In Scotland a DipHE is worth 240 credit points (at least 120 at Level 7 and at least 80 at Level 8) on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework. (As a guide an Honours degree is worth 360 credit points.)
They are not externally regulated but are instead accredited by the universities themselves.
