Program aims

The Diploma of 精东传媒app Studies contains separate strands for both domestic and international students with a non-English-speaking background.
The domestic strand aims to equip students with the necessary skills to successfully respond to the numeracy, literacy, critical thinking and e-literacy demands of higher education studies and the professional workplace, in addition to assisting students to successfully manage the complexities of life/work balance.
The international strand, which is primarily for students from non-English speaking backgrounds, has a stronger emphasis on the use of English for academic and professional purposes and to develop strategies that equip them for successful university study specific to their professional areas.

Both strands of the Diploma provides students with a broad introduction to the academic culture of university studies and an enhanced understanding and knowledge of foundational issues, principles and strategies needed in order to be successful in the first year undergraduate level of study, before providing students with four first-year undergraduate courses of specialisation in a discipline area.

The program will appeal to domestic students who want to enhance and develop their broad award-level study skills prior to undertaking a range of discipline courses and determining whether to embark on a more specialised degree program, or opting instead to graduate out with a new sub-degree qualification. For international students from non-English speaking backgrounds, the program encompasses the development of similar generic skills but aims to initially develop their speaking, listening, writing, reading and mathematical skills, so that they are then able to participate successfully in their Australian university discipline activities conducted in English.
