Undergraduate: Course rule and topic information
Diploma in Language
(DipLang)
Program of study
INTRODUCTION
The Diploma in Language can be undertaken by any student admitted to an undergraduate degree at the University. The course is offered on a part-time basis, over six consecutive semesters (in addition to a bachelor degree), thus adding one extra year to the overall study program. The course is offered by the Faculty of Education, Humanities, Law and Theology.
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 French, Indonesian, Italian, Modern Greek, Spanish, Chinese*, German*, Japanese*.
Students can be accommodated at either beginners' or advanced levels of linguistic competence.
* NO NEW STUDENT INTAKE FROM 2008
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
