Community service studies may involve working within specific communities to build engagement and essential internal social structures. Passionate individuals can help struggling groups achieve a sense of self-respect and develop confidence in each other. Courses may offer a hands-on approach for real-world experience.

Should an individual decide to gain additional certification that they are qualified in a field of study, they may decide to gain a postgraduate diploma. This type of diploma is attained after one has first completed a master's degree.
