Diplomas

Our diplomas are designed to provide you with a supported study experience and qualification on completion. They cover key areas including arts and social sciences, business, engineering and the built environment, science and environmental science, information technology, data analytics and education studies.

These credit-based programs provide you with academic literacy, research and discipline-specific skills required for further study, but will also allow you to upskill and gain a qualification if you want to progress in your workplace. You’ll study a combination of first-year degree courses alongside supported pathways courses that will help you develop critical thinking skills, solve emerging issues, innovate and expand your skills across a range of areas.

Taken over one year full-time or up to four years part-time, our Diplomas offer flexibility to suit your existing commitments. You will gain the skills you need for further study, or to advance your career. You can also gain up to 80 units of credit and receive guaranteed entry into the second year of related degree programs. There are additional degree programs that you can also receive guaranteed entry into, however the level of credit may vary depending on your choice of degree.

While there are entry requirements for these diplomas, if you don’t have an ATAR you could still gain entry based on other criteria like past study, work or vocational experience. See Admission Criteria on the UAC website for more information.

You’ll be supported through your study by the Pathways and Academic Learning Support Centre including access to academic learning support, counselling and peer support.
