Undergraduate: Course rule and topic information

Diploma in Language

(DipLang)

Program of study

INTRODUCTION

The requirements for the Diploma in Language must be undertaken over at least three years; language studies cannot be confined solely to the additional year.

The languages available are Chinese*, French, German*, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese*, Modern Greek, Spanish. Students can be accommodated at either beginners' or advanced levels of linguistic competence.

* Through reciprocal arrangements with the University of Adelaide.

COURSE AIMS

The course was created for students who would not otherwise study a language as part of their degree or who had difficulty completing a language within their degree program.

It is designed to provide students with linguistic and cultural competence in a chosen language and thus add greater portability to their qualifications. At the same time, it increases cross-cultural awareness and understanding, and provides the academic rigour of formal language study.

By adding linguistic expertise or strengthening skills already gained in a language other than English, students increase their ability to communicate the skills and interests from their main study area to the wider community.

COURSE RULE

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Students can undertake the Diploma in Language if they have been admitted to any undergraduate degree of the University.

The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
