Course description
Flinders offers you the opportunity to complete a Diploma in Language at the same time you are taking pretty well any other degree at Flinders - from Science or Psychology to Law or Business.
By adding 1 extra year to your normal study program for the degree, you will graduate with 2 qualifications.
You'll work in small groups with like-minded people, enjoy more independence, and get teaching that is geared to your needs.
A language will help you get a job - and do a better job when you do.

Why study Languages at Flinders?
* We have a series of international exchange links for Indonesian, Spanish, Italian and Modern Greek language students. Through these exchanges you will not only have the opportunity to study overseas as part of your degree but you can access scholarships from the University to support your study and living costs.
* We won scholarship funding through the Australian Government and European Agencies for students to study in Europe. The University is involved in 3 separate projects in Global Citizenship, Criminology and Environmental Sustainability. Within the Global Citizenship project students can improve their Modern Greek and Italian language skills by studying at either Universitá Roma Tre or the University of Cyprus.
* Language skills open up language-specific careers, such as translating, interpreting and teaching. There are even more careers that benefit from language training (eg diplomacy, journalism, trade, tourism and hospitality, etc).
The Diploma in Language can be undertaken by any student admitted to an undergraduate degree at the University. The course is offered on a part-time basis, over six consecutive semesters (in addition to a bachelor degree), thus adding one extra year to the overall study program. The course is offered by the Faculty of Education, Humanities, Law and Theology.
The requirements for the Diploma in Language must be undertaken over at least three years; language studies cannot be confined solely to the additional year.
The languages available are French, Indonesian, Italian, Modern Greek, Spanish, Chinese*, German*, Japanese*.
Students can be accommodated at either beginners' or advanced levels of linguistic competence.
* NO NEW STUDENT INTAKE
