    Hi,

    This is probably a stupid question but- can you apply for two post grads in the same department of a university. I asked one secretary with one of the courses and he said no just apply for the one post grad, but I just want to make absolute sure? One is a higher diploma and One is is a post graduate diploma and I really want to get back to education and make sure I don't shoot myself in the for by missing out on applying for one and leaving the other one.
    Thanks

    If the PAC form allows you to enter the two courses, then I don't see why not. Good luck with it!

    PAC lets you go for 3 courses if I remember correctly. I don't see why 2 can't be from the same college. You can get multiple offers and have a deadline to accept one.

    First off, I wouldn't even entertain talking to a secretary. Find out who is the course director and talk to them. Not only will they have the correct info, but they will also be one of the people deciding if you get in or not. So showing interest by talking to them puts you in better standing.

    Also, depending on how big the course intake is you might actually be shooting yourself in the foot by applying for the same course at different levels. If it's a borderline choice between you and someone else, and it looks like you don't mind which level you take the course at - then they might offer the higher level to someone else and offer you the lower of the two.. If you're fine with that work away, but bear it in mind.
