The Faculty of Arts offers five undergraduate diplomas.
The normal admission requirement is the satisfactory completion of the VCE or equivalent with a study score of 25 in English (any) and a study score of at least 20 in any three other VCE studies. Alternatively, students who have completed two not-for-degree units or two units through Open Learning Australia are also eligible to apply. Applicants who have completed a pass degree and meet the normal entry requirements may apply.
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.
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.
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, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian). Students admitted to the diploma negotiate a suitable program of study in consultation with the relevant school.
