Professional Courses and Diplomas in Pakistan


Professional courses, also known as diplomas, are vocational qualifications. They involve more practical training than a degree and are usually linked with a particular industry. With a diploma, you’re able to improve and develop the specific skills needed for your chosen career path. 

In Pakistan, there are countless diploma/professional courses available. There are courses offered for each field, from commerce, computer science, and languages to media studies. It all depends on the career that you’re hoping to develop.

Certain universities are better known for certain courses. For example, students usually head to Karachi University for humanities courses, while Punjab University offers excellent computer science diplomas.

You can even work on a specific field within your career path, such as journalism in a media studies program. 

The time horizon for a professional course differs from a degree, which takes 3-4 years. To gain a diploma, you only need to invest 1-2 years.

While pursuing a diploma course, you will get a thorough knowledge of the particular course opted by you. The basic advantage of pursuing a professional course is that it takes less time and money. On top of that, the curriculum of a diploma course is created in a way that the students gain more hands-on knowledge regarding the particular field. In this way, the skills are developed in them automatically. Some Diploma courses are DCA, PGDCA, PGDUPDL, PDGM, etc.
