The case against the DipHE

Abstract

The AUT is not opposed to two‐year qualifications as such. It appreciates that in appropriate ways they serve a useful function in further and higher education institutions outside the universities. However, it does not regard the proposed Diploma in Higher Education as at all the equivalent of a degree or a proper substitute for a degree education. The AUT therefore opposes its introduction to the universities and, equally, rejects the implication that, inside or outside the universities, it is a suitable alternative for a proportion of those future school‐leavers who might otherwise be given the opportunity to study for a degree.
