About

The Diploma in Science is open to graduates of a Bachelor program in any field of study.

It is a flexible program that is ideal for people who need to fulfil prerequisites for entry into another program, for people who are preparing to sit the GAMSAT or for teachers looking for professional development.

Students enrolling in the program can choose to either complete a major from the course list or to complete a set of courses without a declared major.

Due to the sequential nature of some majors in which some courses require prerequisite knowledge, students may need to complete the Diploma part time over three or four semesters.

This program has been revised from 2021.

Students who commenced in the program from 2021 should refer to the:

Diploma in Science — 2476.

If you are interested in further information about the revised program structure, please contact the Faculty of Science Student Enquiries Office.
