WSET Level 5 Honours Diploma

The WSET Level 5 Honours Diploma is an individual research project that enables students to develop skills in research, evaluation and analysis in a wine and spirit related subject of their choice.  This qualification is open to anyone holding the WSET Level 4 Diploma. This single unit qualification assesses the ability of a candidate to develop and apply knowledge gained at Level 4 in significantly greater depth and present information in a format suitable for managerial-level presentation.  Therefore, the submission of the research project for assessment will not be allowed until the candidate has passed the Level 4 Diploma.
