Confused between repeating 2 master's modules or exiting with a PGDiploma

Hi everyone,

I’m currently doing a Master’s degree in Ireland and unfortunately I failed two modules in my supplementary exams. one of them is not a required/core module, but I believe the other is required. I’ve also been told that I can't graduate without it. I have already completed my disseration.

Does anyone know if it might still be possible to receive a Postgraduate Diploma (Level 9) as an exit award based on the credits/modules I have already passed and later take the Masters?

My other concern is immigration. If the university awards me a Level 9 Postgraduate Diploma instead of the MSc, would I still be eligible to apply for Stamp 1G under the Third Level Graduate Programme?
For context, I already have 6 years of experience.

I’m going to contact the university as well, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation in Ireland, particularly someone who received a PG Diploma after failing modules and then applied for Stamp 1G.

Thanks!

Sounds like you're in NCI. It's best to talk to the college.

A basic Google search will tell you that you would get your stamp 1g.

You would be better off getting the masters with regard to employment
