Overview: The Diploma in Languages provides students with the opportunity to gain a Diploma in Chinese language while completing an undergraduate degree at the University of Melbourne.


Objectives: See course objectives.
Structure & Available Subjects:

Students with a Chinese-speaking background
Two different levels are available to students who are from a Chinese-speaking background:

  • minimal literacy
  • limited literacy
Placement in one of these levels depends on a number of factors, such as spoken competence in Mandarin or a Chinese dialect and ability to read and write Chinese characters.

The Diploma consists of a three-year sequence of first-, second- and third-year language study and may add up to one year to the duration of the student’s degree course. See the Diploma course structure for details.
