About the course

The Graduate Diploma will also prepare you to study that subject at postgraduate level, such as the Bachelor of Arts with Honours or the Master of Arts.

　　The GDipArts can be completed in two trimesters when studied full time, or in up to four years if you're studying part time. You don't need to have a Bachelor of Arts to complete a GDipArts—graduates with any undergraduate degree can enrol.

　　Gain a thorough grounding in how language works, and how it is taught and learned. You'll focus primarily on teaching English but your skills will be applicable to other languages too. Get the professional and academic knowledge you'll need to succeed in the language education field. Note: this major will not give you a teaching qualification so you'll need to complete some further study to work as a language teacher. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
