The University of Auckland

This flexible diploma is a way for you to take Arts courses if you have already completed a degree, and a useful pathway to postgraduate study. If you already have a degree and want to take Arts courses, this flexible diploma might just be for you. You could use the diploma to qualify for postgraduate study by taking courses in the subject of your choice at intermediate and advanced undergraduate level. It is also a way that you can study a specific subject to complement your existing qualifications and further your personal or professional development. You can supplement your undergraduate degree with the courses you need to follow a specific career path or enhance your professional development. If you’re looking to step up into one of our postgraduate programmes, the graduate diploma is a useful way for you to get there.In Chinese language courses you will learn conversational Chinese (Mandarin) and develop reading ability. We emphasise speaking and listening skills. You will also learn to read and write Chinese, as well as basic translation. Your language learning will be embedded in rich cultural contexts. To complement your Chinese language courses, you can study Chinese culture, film, media, politics, history and society. These courses are taught in English. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the links between the University of Auckland and universities in Chinese-speaking locations. We also offer short-term language and culture study tours.
