If someone was awarded a BSc (Hons) (360 credits, 120 from Level 4-6).
Once they earn a PGCert (60 credits from Level 7 modules), is this now their highest qualification?
May seem like a silly question but it’s causing a debate amongst my friends.
I could see it both ways... The BSc is a degree, while the PGCert is a certificate, but a lower level at that.

The term 'certificate' may be the point of confusion, but it's still higher in the rankings than a BSc (although its value is debatable in terms of employability etc).

You’d say having a PGCert actually makes you less employable compared to someone with a BSc?
