Area studies typically examine the development of a particular population or region. While other, similar interdisciplinary studies, such as gender, disability, and ethnic, may have some part in course discussions, these are not considered area studies.

A postgraduate certificate can help provide you with a valuable qualification to put you ahead of others in the same field of expertise. Once you have completed your undergraduate degree, a study program developed for your specific line of education can give you more advanced knowledge and experience.
