Hi,
I’m a final year Law Student currently in Nigeria, Africa. I’ll be leaving the country soon to Canada, to be reunited with family. Therefore I’m seeking career advancement options to get me started.
I’m interested in enrolling for a Master’s Program in International Relations, Business Administration or Intellectual Property Law. But Unfortunately I have not met the B+ requirement *SOB*
So, I was advised to try a ‘Post Graduate Diploma’, unfortunately, I have been browsing through schools and can’t seem to come up with anything related to my field. Closest I saw was a ‘Post Diploma’ with a duration of TWO YEARS! Can anyone pls pls pls help explain the benefits of a Post Grad Diploma & where it could lead me to in Canada?
Also, if you can recommend schools or courses to me via links, I’d be grateful. Thanks.

Hey there!
Okay so for starters, U of T doesn?t seem to offer a Master?s program in Intellectual Property Law, and to get into the M.B.A. program would require a business degree in your undergraduate years and a lot of experience and references.
This narrows things down to the International Relations program, but even then, I?m going to have to tell you that whoever told you to try a post-graduate diploma? yeah, they were wrong ? that is at least according to the little birdies that help me out over here. Basically, from what my sources tell me, pursuing a post-graduate diploma would be pointless as graduate programs mostly look at your success in the last few years of your undergraduate work. So really, the most you can do is work really hard this year, and if that isn?t enough, take some more courses afterwards to boost your GPA.
But if you do want to take a post-graduate diploma, it?s essentially something you?ll take at a collage to hone a skill more so than work with academics. They may be better for you in that depending on where you go, you?ll be set up for internships or co-op placements.
Study hard!
