General information

The Faculty of Arts offers a number of undergraduate diplomas.

The normal admission requirement is the satisfactory completion of the VCE or equivalent with a study score of 25 in English and a study score of at least 20 in any three other VCE studies. Alternatively, students who have completed two not-for-degree subjects or two subjects through Open Learning Australia are also eligible to apply. Applicants who have completed a pass degree and meet the normal entry requirements may apply.

Course structure

Students are required to complete a three-year sequence in their chosen humanities, social science or language discipline. The diplomas give those students who have enrolled in an undergraduate degree not offered by the Arts faculty the opportunity to undertake studies concurrently in humanities, social sciences or a language while completing the requirement for their normal undergraduate degree.

Diploma in Arts

The Diploma in Arts requires students to complete a three-year sequence in their chosen humanities discipline. Students complete a major, which is three years of study in a single humanities discipline.
Students admitted to the diploma negotiate a suitable program of study in consultation with the relevant school.

Diploma in Languages

The Diploma in Languages requires students to complete a major, which is three years of study in their chosen language (selected from Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Modern Greek, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian).
Students admitted to the diploma negotiate a suitable program of study in consultation with the relevant school.
