To be eligible for admission to UPU’s Postgraduate Diploma in Public Administration, applicants generally need:

  • A Bachelor’s degree from a recognized university in any discipline. 

  • Some institutions (and by extension, similar academic programmes) sometimes consider relevant professional qualifications (e.g., in management or related fields), though the core requirement is a degree. 

  • Admission is typically competitive, and applicants must submit all required academic transcripts and documentation through the UPU admissions process. (Confirm specific grade or class requirements with UPU admissions directly for the most precise criteria.)

 

The programme is offered on a weekend study mode, making it suitable for working professionals seeking to upgrade their skills without pausing employment.
