Graduate Diploma in Languages (Japanese)

Course code: 3058 + Mid-year entry available with the approval of the course coordinator + Clayton + Course coordinator: Robyn Spence-Brown

Synopsis

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

Entry requirements

A bachelors degree in any field.

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 those with beginners or 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 an extra 12 points. This can consist of either a 12-point postgraduate unit such as `Japanese sociolinguistics', or `Teaching Asian languages', an extra 12 points of language studies or electives approved for the undergraduate major.
