Diploma
Summary
IntroductionThis Diploma offers people who hold a bachelor's degree in a major in an unrelated area the opportunity to study science in-depth.
It is designed to provide a qualification for graduates seeking to qualify for entry to postgraduate qualifications in science, change career direction, or to extend or upgrade their existing qualifications.
Entry criteria
Entry requirementsEntry to the Graduate Diploma requires a bachelor's degree, which does not need to be in the same area of study. If you gained your qualification overseas, this will need to be assessed to ensure it is of an equivalent standard.
Acceptance will depend on the standard and relevance of previous studies.
If English is not your first language, you are also required to meet UC's Postgraduate language requirements. See how to provide your English language evidence to UC. If you need help meeting these requirements, or would like to practise your English skills before studying, UC offers English for Academic Purposes (EAP) language programmes.
For the full entry requirements, see the Regulations for the Graduate Diploma in Science or use the admission requirements checker.
