Changes in society are creating new requirements for life-long learning, retraining, and greater variety in course offerings to supplement degrees and graduate courses. The diploma courses are a response to these changing needs, enabling people to undertake a selection of undergraduate units within a single discipline or field.

The objectives of the diploma courses are to enable:

• mature-age students to obtain a university qualification in an area of special interest, without previous study at a university;
• graduates to obtain qualifications in a new area of interest, or to update previous qualifications, through further study at the undergraduate level.

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
