Hi Adnan,
Postgraduate: It is also called as Master’s degree. After bachelor degree everyone can study master’s degree. The duration of the course is 2 or 3 years and the credits are 180. If someone wants to do PhD, they must have master’s degree. Masters’ degree help students to become master in their interested subject.

Postgraduate Diploma: It is short course with less time duration and credits (120). If anyone wants to gain knowledge equivalent to master’s degree and get job in short time then postgraduate diploma is better option for them. The postgraduate diploma course duration would be 6months or 1year.

Hope this helps!
