Diploma in Science
Designed specifically for graduates, the Diploma in Science allows you to study a new undergraduate discipline, gain academic qualifications, develop your career, or take a mix of courses to suit your interests. Whether you have studied Arts, Engineering, Pharmacy, Philosophy or even Science, this Diploma will allow you to access a number of interesting and challenging science disciplines.
Due to the sequential nature of some courses which require prerequisite knowledge, students may need to complete the Diploma part-time, over three or four semesters. Please refer to the course profiles for each course that you intend to enrol in to check for any required prerequisites, before finalising your study plan. For example, BIOM2020 has a prerequisite of BIOL1040, and a recommended prerequisite of BIOL1020.
The Diploma in Science can assist students to gain a breadth of knowledge to support their admission to, or progression through graduate entry programs, such as:
- Doctor of Medicine
- Master of Occupational Therapy Studies
- Master of Physiotherapy Studies
- Master of Speech Pathology Studies
- Master of Dietetic Studies
Study plans to help you plan your enrolment to meet this goal are currently under review, due to changes to the program.
