The regulation of academic policies and the overload of work do not allow a student to take both an Engineering Diploma and a Pharmacy Diploma at the same time in most systems. Still, the specific rules are more likely to depend on your country, state, or an educational establishment. Here are some points to consider:1. This paper focuses on Institutional Rules and Policies.It is also important to note that most institutions have a code that disallows full time students to take two full time courses at the same time.There are universities or boards where a student can enroll for part-time or online course while pursuing a full-time program.2. Workload and PracticalityEngineering and pharmacy diplomas involve a heavy work load and some courses include practical lab sessions that may cause a conflict in the scheduling.Balancing the tasks that come with two demanding programs is challenging, and this may pull down your results in either of the two programs.3. Legal Problems and AccreditationWhile others, particularly some system of educational authorities or accreditation bodies, do not recognize equivalencies of qualifications obtained concurrently.This means that any dual enrollment done must meet the legal and accreditation requirements of your country.4. Alternative OptionsPart-Time Study: In the case of such opportunities, one Diploma could either be completed part time, or via distance learning.Integrated Programs: Interested institutions should be those that offer both a dual degree/diploma programme intended to link several disciplines.Sequential Study: While you need to complete one Diploma first before taking up the other.Next Steps:It is advised to get in contact with the admission offices of those institutions that offer these diplomas to get clarification.Visit local education board or government policies.Determine your stress level and thus your ability to cater for the workload and organize appropriately.
