Undergraduates will have access to a range of diplomas which may be completed concurrently with bachelors degrees, to enable them to complete an in-depth sequence of study in disciplines such as mathematics, languages, and music. The diploma normally consists of a sequence of first, second and third year subjects in a relevant area of study. Applications for concurrent diplomas are made following enrolment in an undergraduate degree.
The Diploma in Mathematical Sciences is a new program that will commence in 2009. Within the Diploma, students will complete the requirements of one specialization of the Mathematics and Statistics major from the Bachelor of Science. Students who take appropriate mathematics or statistics subjects within the core component of their bachelor degree will be eligible to complete the diploma by taking an extra 50 points (four subjects) in Mathematics and Statistics in addition to the 300 points needed for your bachelor degree. In some circumstances it may be possible to complete your bachelor degree and the Diploma within three years.
For further information contact the Faculty of Science.

The Diploma in Languages enables you to gain an undergraduate diploma in a single language in an integrated sequence. The concurrent diploma may be awarded provided students complete 50 points of subjects in addition to the 300 points required for the New Generation degrees. Some studies completed in the New Generation Bachelor of Arts will also be credited towards the diploma. Where possible, these diplomas can be completed within three years. The following languages are available: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish.
The Diploma in Music (Practical) provides students with the opportunity to pursue practical music study, but without committing to professional music training. The Diploma is structured around a three-year sequence of practical study, to which you add a suite of six Music Skills electives and two Advanced electives. The practical subjects involve weekly one-to-one tuition and instrumental/vocal masterclasses, as well as the opportunity to perform in regular concert classes.
The Global Issues Program (GIP) is available as a four subject certificate or an eight subject diploma. The GIP is a multi disciplinary and a multi institutional program which is unique in format and delivery. Students study subjects either online or at one of the participating U21 institutions as part of study abroad or exchange. The program is designed to offer students a truely international perspective on issues of global importance such as world health, poverty, sustainability and the global political economy.
The GIP is offered in collaboration with seven other Universitas 21 partner institutions
^This course is not registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) and cannot be offered to international students that require a student visa to study in Australia.
Students, who complete one New Generation undergraduate degree such as Biomedicine, may apply to undertake a second or sequential New Generation undergraduate degree. Applicants who meet the entry requirements for the second degree (including prerequisites) will be granted 100 points of credit. Most sequential (or second) degrees will be able to be completed in two full-time years of study, but sequencing of subjects may necessitate three years in some degrees.
