Graduate Diploma in Language
(GradDipLang)
Program of Study
INTRODUCTION
The Graduate Diploma in Language is a fee-paying course. The 36-unit program is offered by the Faculty of Education, Humanities, Law and Theology and, in the case of Indonesian, by the Faculty of Social Sciences.
The languages available are:
Students can be accommodated at either beginners or advanced level (equivalent to Year 12 SACE continuers level) of linguistic competence.
Except with the permission of the appropriate Board, a student shall complete the requirements of the course in the prescribed period of six consecutive semesters, or where credit has been granted for work completed elsewhere, within such period as the appropriate Board may determine at the time that credit is granted.
COURSE AIMS
The Graduate Diploma in Language provides the opportunity for university graduates to take a language that they have not previously studied at university level.
It is designed to provide graduates with linguistic and cultural competence in one of the above languages and thus add greater portability to their qualifications. At the same time, it increases cross-cultural understanding and awareness, and provides the academic rigour of formal language study.
By adding linguistic expertise or strengthening skills already gained in a language other than English, graduates increase their ability to understand and interact with another culture. In addition, graduates' ability to communicate skills and knowledge acquired from their previous university studies is greatly enhanced.
COURSE RULE
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Students can undertake the Graduate Diploma in Language if they hold a degree or equivalent qualification from this University or from another approved tertiary institution.
Except with the permission of the appropriate Board, no topic presented for the Graduate Diploma in Language may repeat work undertaken for earlier degrees.
