Diploma in Languages (1 Viewer)

[Fong]

i heard that if you can learn a language concurrently with your degree by doing a diploma in languages. how does this work? will the degree still take the same amount of time to complete or do you have to stay in uni for an extra year or something? When/How do you enrol? Thanks

a diploma takes in most cases the equivalent of one year full time study, a concurrent program thus spreads itself over a period of few years (usually 3) whereby you overload subjects per semester. As for applying I think you apply to the Arts faculty and in some cases need permission from the faculty of the existing program that you are undertaking. So it takes same amount of time, albeit more workload.

What? For most unis it takes an extra year on top!

i think the OP was asking about the concurrent program, which spreads the subjects among multiple years for your other degrees. you can choose to overload which means you complete it in the same period as you would if you didn't take the diploma.

Thanks. So when can i enrol?

 

[lionking1191]

from what i heard you apply directly to the arts faculty at the end of your first year, so no need to worry about that now.

why can't we enrol at the start of first year?
