On completion of the Diploma in Languages, students should:

• Have acquired a mastery of both oral / aural and writing / reading skills comparable to that of a student majoring in a language discipline
• Have gained a basic understanding of selected aspects of the culture (or cultures) and of the society (or societies) associated with the language
• Communicate effectively in a variety of oral and written formats, and, in the case of those students undertaking a language major, read, write, listen and speak another language with fluency and appreciate its cultural contexts

Applications open twice each year for start-year (semester one) and mid-year (semester two) entry. It is also possible to commence the diploma in the summer semester if required. You must apply for the diploma prior to the semester in which you wish to commence it.
