<p>Arts graduates are employed in a wide range of occupations, from large private sector organisations (such as banks, finance and insurance companies and consulting firms), to Commonwealth and State Public Services and other government bodies with large administrative divisions. With a further qualification they can enter secondary or tertiary institutions as teachers, undertake research in universities or other organisations such as museums and galleries. Those graduates prepared to be flexible and adaptable are usually successful in gaining employment.</p>

<p>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.</p> <p>The objectives of the diploma courses are to enable:</p> <ul> <li>mature-age students to obtain a university qualification in an area of special interest, without previous study at a university;</li> <li>graduates to obtain qualifications in a new area of interest, or to update previous qualifications, through further study at the undergraduate level.</li> </ul>

Diploma in Arts
<p>None but there may be prerequisites or levels of assumed knowledge for individual subjects particularly science and language subjects.</p>
<p>Each diploma program requires the completion of a minimum of 42 units, with a maximum of 12 units at 1st year level (generally 2 courses) and a minimum of 30 units at later-year level (generally 5 courses), which is equivalent to an Arts major as defined later in this chapter. All studies for the diploma are undertaken at the undergraduate level. The diploma must be completed within five years of commencement.</p> <p>Note: Although it may be possible to complete the diploma in one academic year, course availability in any given year may prevent this.</p> <p><strong>Attendance Pattern</strong><br /> For students including first-year courses in their program, the typical pattern is to complete 2 first-year courses in the first year and 1 or 2 later-year courses per semester subsequently. First-year and later-year courses cannot normally be taken simultaneously. Not more than 12 units of the diploma can be at first-year level.</p> <p><strong>Fees</strong><br /> Diploma students are liable only for HECS (Higher Education Contribution Scheme) charges, rather than full tuition fees.</p> <p><strong>Diploma Programs<br /> </strong>The diplomas span a number of the Faculty of Arts' offerings in the humanities, languages and the social sciences. The requirements and options for each diploma are virtually equivalent to the majors offered within the Bachelor of Arts degree. Prospective students are encouraged to discuss their study plans with the Convenor for the particular diploma.</p> <p>The following diploma programs are available:</p> <p>[American Studies|ARTSMAMER]<br /> [Ancient Greek|ARTSMGRKA] *<br /> [Anthropology|ARTSMANTH]<br /> [Applied Linguistics|ARTSMAPPL]<br /> [Archaeology|ARTSMARCH]<br /> [Art History|ARTSMARTH]<br /> [Art History & Curatorship|ARTSMARTC]<br />[Art Theory|ARTSMARTTH]<br /> [Australian Studies|ARTSMAUST]<br /> [Biological Anthropology|ARTSMAUST]<br /> [Classics|ARTSMCLAS]<br /> [Contemporary Europe|ARTSMEURO]<br /> [Development Studies|ARTSMDEST]<br /> [Drama|ARTSMDRAM]<br /> [English|ARTSMENGL]<br /> [Film Studies|ARTSMFILM]<br /> [Forensic Anthropology|ARTSMFORA]<br /> [French|ARTSMFREN] *<br /> [Gender, Sexuality and Culture|ARTSMGEND]<br /> [German|ARTSMGERM] *<br /> [Health, Medicine and Body|ARTSMHEAL]<br /> [History|ARTSMHIST]<br /> [Indigenous Australian Studies|ARTSMIAST]<br /> [International Communication|ARTSMINTC]<br /> [International Relations|ARTSMINTR]<br /> [Italian|ARTSMITAL] *<br /> [Latin|ARTSMLATN] *<br /> [Linguistics|ARTSMLING]<br /> [Musicology (Bachelor of Arts)|ARTSMMUSC]<br /> [Persian|ARTSMPERS] *<br /> [Philosophy|ARTSMPHIL]<br /> [Political Science|ARTSMPOLS]<br /> [Population Studies|ARTSMPOPS] *<br /> [Religious Studies|ARTSMRELS]<br /> [Social Research Methods|ARTSMSORM]<br /> [Sociology|ARTSMSOCY]<br /> [Spanish|ARTSMSPAN] *<br /> [Turkish|ARTSMTURK] *</p> <p>See the major entry for the relevant discipline later in this chapter for details.</p> <p>* Students are advised that, in the case of Diploma in Population Studies, International Relations and languages it may not be possible to complete the program in two years. Students should consult the convenors in those areas to obtain information on future offerings.</p> <p>The programs are known generally as the 'Diploma in Arts'. Diplomas are awarded in two grades: Pass and Pass with Merit. A Pass with Merit requires an average mark for all units in the 'distinction' range.</p> <p><strong>Status</strong><br /> Students who have completed relevant courses at a university in the last ten years may apply for status for up to 12 units (generally 2 courses) in the diploma. Students who complete a diploma and subsequently enrol for a Bachelor degree are eligible to be granted status for up to seven specified courses in the degree. A diploma cannot be undertaken concurrently with a degree, but may be commenced afterwards. Degree students interested in extending the breadth of their studies may only enrol in a combined degree program.</p>
