A DIPLOMA is a course that is shorter than a degree. It can be at any level. In the UK a Diploma is normally more advanced than a Certificate. US students who are  interested in a Diploma but want a more US-friendly course designation can apply for a different award title such as Certificate, Specialist, or other suitable title for the award. Titles that do not include the word "degree" can be awarded as genuine UK qualifications by Calamus Extension College. Any type of degree will not be a UK degree but will be an award validated by Calamus International University.

Most CIU Master's courses are also available as Diplomas by taking a shorter course without the project or equivalent credits. Such programmes can be upgraded to full Master's later.

Our affiliated UK school, UK College of Holistic Training, has a number of distance diplomas in holistic fields - see
