The NCH Diploma
Studied by all undergraduates at the College, the NCH Diploma complements, enriches and further contextualises your degree. It equips you with an intelligent understanding of the core concepts, arguments and theories that underpin the study of the humanities, and enables you to approach your degree studies in a more rounded and enlightened way. The NCH Diploma is a noncredit bearing award.
The ability to think logically and critically is at the core of all academic study. It also pays a key role in personal or professional contexts, when you might need to solve a problem quickly and efficiently, provide a sound justification for a decision you have made, or present balanced arguments.
A grasp of fundamental scientific principles and approaches is essential to understanding what is going on around us. The relations between the sciences and the humanities are complex, and an understanding of one complements and enriches the other.
