Graduate and postgraduate diplomas

Postgraduate diplomas in the Faculty of Arts are one-year (or part-time equivalent) programs that enable students to build on the knowledge gained in their bachelors degree by completing further studies in one of their disciplines or majors. Postgraduate diplomas will normally consist of postgraduate level-four units.

Graduate diplomas are one-year (or part-time equivalent) programs that give students an opportunity to add a new discipline to those they have studied in their undergraduate degree and enhance their career prospects. Students who complete the requirements of a graduate diploma can apply to transfer to the masters-level program.

Entry requirements

The minimum entry requirement for graduate diplomas is normally a bachelors degree. Postgraduate diplomas normally require a three-year bachelors degree with a credit average in the third year of the major or specialisation in the area to be studied in the postgraduate diploma.

Graduate Diploma in Languages

The Graduate Diploma in Languages allows students to complete the equivalent of an undergraduate major in a chosen language selected from Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Spanish, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese and Korean. This course is available part-time only and is normally completed over three years, as language units must be studied sequentially. Information on how to meet the requirements of a major in each language can be found under the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/prospective/course/postgraduate/study_areas/index.html.
