Why Study a diploma at ACU?
Suitable for international students who want to study at ACU but do not satisfy the entry requirements for their preferred Bachelor's degree.
Smaller class sizes and high level and tailored support to develop students’ knowledge, skills and understanding for study in their chosen discipline.
Students who successfully complete their Diploma will graduate with a recognised, standalone qualification and can transition directly into the second year of their associated Bachelor program.
All Diplomas are developed and delivered by ACU and students have access to a range of services to gain the confidence to learn independently and transition smoothly into university study.
Diploma classes are taught on campus (and remotely for select programs) at ACU, allowing students to become familiar with the university environment and access facilities and develop networks and friendships to accompany them throughout their entire university journey.
