The Graduate Diploma in Languages (with a specialisation in Japanese) allows students to complete the equivalent of an undergraduate major in Japanese (see undergraduate handbook for details).

Course structure

This course is equivalent to one year full-time (48 points), but as language units must be studied sequentially it is normally completed over three years. The diploma is suitable for beginners or those with intermediate levels of competence (equivalent to levels A or B at Monash University).
Students normally take a three-year sequence of core language units (commencing at the appropriate level for their starting competence) as well as two additional units (one at either second or third-year levels and another at third year level). These units are usually chosen from undergraduate reading units or units in Asian Studies, but can be replaced by an approved single 12-point postgraduate units such as Japanese sociolinguistics or teaching Asian languages.
