Diploma in Languages

Languages (major, minor or elective study) can be studied in most of the University's awards. Alternatively, students can enrol in a Certificate in Languages or the Diploma in Languages.

The Certificate in Languages and the Diploma in Languages can be studied concurrently with a Bachelor's degree. For example, a student enrolled in Engineering would study three Engineering subjects and one language subject each semester. At the completion of their studies at the University of Wollongong they will have studied an additional 0.5 years if they take the Certificate and 1 year if they take the Diploma. Languages can be studied from beginners level to advanced, and in-country study can also be included.

Students graduate with two awards, their Bachelor's degree and Diploma of Languages or Certificate of Languages, The certificate is worth 24 credit points and the diploma 48 cps. Subjects in both awards are HECS funded.  

Both the Certificate in Languages and the Diploma in Languages is also available to members of the community who are not undertaking a degree at UOW and who wish to complete a certificate or diploma only in a language.
