Course Overview:

The graduate diploma is similar to an undergraduate major and offers a comprehensive program of study in European studies. The course is suitable for general interest or professional development purposes and does not require a research project or thesis. Graduates are provided with a pathway to higher degree study and may qualify for entry to a Postgraduate Diploma in history, political science or a European language (French, Italian, German, Swedish) with a specialisation in European studies. The program assumes intermediate level language training in French, German, Italian or Swedish. Students with other European language experience are advised to consult the course coordinator.
