Diploma in European Studies

Course handbook entry
Includes description, objectives, structure and requirements of the course.

A diploma in European studies is available to domestic students only, at an undergraduate level. It is identical in structure to a major sequence in European Studies. It is designed to allow undergraduate students to study European Studies concurrently with their bachelor studies.

Students taking the Diploma in European Studies will learn about the Europe of today, its evolution toward political, economic and cultural integration, and the structures and processes involved in this evolution. They will also deepen their awareness of the role of European thought and culture in shaping the modern world. The Diploma may be of special interest to students in a wide range of disciplines who, in addition to their primary specialisation, wish to acquire expertise in the area of contemporary Europe.

Eligibility

The Diploma in European Studies may be taken by:

• Monash University students enrolled in any undergraduate degree with permission from their home Faculty
• Undergraduate students enrolled in any undergraduate degree at another university

Diploma students are encouraged to undertake a mobility program. More information is available on the mobility and scholarships webpage.

Duration

The Diploma in European Studies is taken concurrently with another degree and normally adds between one semester and one year to the total time taken to complete undergraduate study.

Credit toward other studies

Students taking the Diploma in European Studies may be able to credit up to 50% (24 credit points) of the Diploma to their main undergraduate degree.

Application procedures

If you are interested in applying to concurrently study the Diploma in European Studies alongside your undergraduate degree you will need to submit an application directly to the Faculty of Arts. Application information is available from the Arts Undergraduate Course Application webpage.
