About this course

The Diploma in Science is open to you if you've obtained a bachelor's degree in any field of study. It's a flexible program that allows you to build on your knowledge by spending a year (or part-time equivalent) studying your area of interest in science.

This diploma is ideal if you need to fulfil prerequisites for entry into another program, or if you're preparing to sit the GAMSAT (Graduate Medical Schools Admission Test). It's also ideal if you're looking for professional development.

When you enrol in the Diploma in Science, you 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, you may need to complete the Diploma in Science part-time over three or four semesters.
