Diploma of Languages
University of Wollongong - Wollongong
Overview
The globalisation of the economy and culture means that knowledge of a language is increasingly in demand. Learning a second language will develop and improve your communication skills and give you a greater understanding of a different country and its culture. Studying a language makes you more employable and will prepare you to work in a multicultural and globalised economy.
You will learn to understand and speak a language in social situations, and you will acquire an understanding of the cultural heritage, history and contemporary society of another country. The Diploma in Languages can be studied by itself or concurrently with another UOW degree.
If studied concurrently, you will take one language subject per session, along with the other subjects from your degree. On completion of the program, you will speak and write clearly and accurately in a range of situations.
