Summary
A diploma is a short-term study option that can help pave your way to future success.
A diploma is a good way to gain an introductory one-year qualification (120 points) in a particular field of study, without having to complete a whole three-year bachelor's degree.
It is equivalent to the second year of study of a bachelor's degree, and is slightly more comprehensive than a certificate (60 points).
It takes a year of full-time study, or longer if you wish to study part-time.
If you do not have any previous tertiary study or relevant work experience, we recommend that you look at the certificate instead.
