Diploma in Languages: Japanese
The Diploma in Languages is an undergraduate qualification that permits students from other faculties (Business and Economics, Science, Engineering, etc.) to complete a language major while completing their primary undergraduate degree. The Diploma can introduce you as a beginner to a new language, or allow you to build on your existing expertise in a language.
By undertaking a Diploma in Languages you will boost your appeal to prospective employers and have the opportunity to pursue your language interests while you are taking you bachelor's degree in another faculty.
For entry to the Diploma, you must be enrolled in a bachelor's degree at Monash or another university. Students in double degrees may also apply.
The Diploma in Languages adds an extra major to your main degree. You complete 48 points of study in Arts. It usually takes three to four years to complete, but that time may be reduced if you receive credit for electives already completed, or if you participate in the Japanese In-country Program in Kanazawa.
