Course details
REGENT’s Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Management is a one-year course that allows students to study while employed. It takes up a hybrid distance learning structure — giving students a perfect balance between academics and work.

The modules for the remote learning option include case study analysis, workshops, tutorials, and self-directed reading. Online and in-person instruction is used to run the workshop sessions. This allows academics to communicate with one another — encouraging collaborative intelligence.
