L-Advanced Diploma in iGaming hija l-livell li jmiss wara d-Diploma in iGaming, u tipprovdi esperjenza prattika lil studenti li jkunu qed jimmiraw li jsibu pożizzjonijiet fi gradi mhux għoljin wisq f’dan is-settur innovattiv. Din id-Diploma Avvanzata tista’ wkoll isservi bħala tħejjija għal kwalifiki fil-livell ta’ baċellerat fl-Iżvilupp tas-Softwer, fl-iGaming, fil-Logħob Diġitali jew fil-Business Analytics.
