With the initiative of enabling students to upskill themselves on a short-term engagement, D.Y. Patil University provides students with post graduate certification programmes in two areas of specialization- digital marketing and healthcare management. 

These courses are short-term certificate programmes in which students are taught a number of key concepts and subject areas of the specialization through the online mode. The university has kept a comfortable course duration of 300 hours, making this an ideal course to be pursued alongside another main degree course or while working. 

This course is LMS powered and students are guided throughout the period of course completion. Evaluations are guided and students can learn at their own pace and convenience. The course curricula for both the specializations have been developed to maintain professional relevance and help students gain the skills central to growing a career in that field
