Diploma programmes are offered by distance and flexible learning (DFL) mode only and as exit qualifications for those studying full degree programmes by face-to-face mode.

USP offers a wide range of Diploma qualifications, many of which only require the completion of up to ten courses. In summary the requirements for admission into a Diploma programme are:

1. a pass in a Senate-recognised Form 7 or equivalent examination; or
2. the completion of a diploma or a degree at a recognised tertiary institution; or
3. the completion of a qualification that USP recognises for cross-credits; or
4. through the mature admission criteria
