Frequently Asked Questions Explained

The Level 7 Diploma represents the taught component of a Master’s program (120 credits). To achieve a full Master’s degree, you typically only need to complete a Research project or Dissertation “Top-up” at a partner university.

Yes. The course is designed for professional flexibility, often offered via online learning or blended delivery, allowing you to study at your own pace over 6 to 12 months.

The Tourism Policy in International Context module is essential for those working in multinational hotel groups or government tourism boards. It teaches you how to navigate different regulatory environments, sustainability requirements, and global economic trends that affect travel and tourism across borders.

At this level, assignments are highly analytical. Instead of descriptive essays, you will be expected to produce:

Strategic Business Plans for hospitality startups.
Policy Recommendations for tourism destinations.
Marketing Audits for international hotel brands.
Critical Evaluations of social and cultural impacts on tourism.

Many applicants use this qualification to boost their immigration profile. Because it is a 120-credit postgraduate diploma, World Education Services (WES) and other evaluating bodies in Canada often recognize it as a “One-Year Postgraduate Diploma” equivalent. If you already hold a Bachelor’s degree, this diploma may help you qualify for the “Two or more degree/certificates” category, which can add significant points to your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.
