* The university/institution: Each university has its own admission requirements. Some may require specific prerequisites or a certain GPA from your advanced diploma.
* The master's program: Certain master's programs may prefer or require a bachelor's degree, while others might accept an advanced diploma, especially if it's in a closely related field. The program's admission requirements will specify this.
* Your advanced diploma's content and reputation: A highly regarded advanced diploma from a respected institution is more likely to be accepted as sufficient qualification than one from a less well-known institution. The relevance of the diploma's subject matter to the master's program is also crucial.
* Your prior academic experience: If your advanced diploma builds upon previous education (e.g., it followed a bachelor's degree), it might be more easily accepted.
In short, while it's *possible*, you need to check the specific admission requirements of the master's program you're interested in. Contact the university's admissions office directly to confirm if your advanced diploma meets their criteria. They may also require additional documentation or bridging courses to make up for any perceived deficiencies.
