The Graduate Diploma in Arts (Japanese) is a 12 month, 48 credit point subject in Japanese language (commencing in March, 2003) at one of the Japanese universities with which the University of Wollongong has exchange agreements.

The diploma offers the opportunity for graduate students interested in improving their Japanese language proficiency, but also for those students who would like the opportunity to pursue further studies in majors other than Japanese, such as literature, history, engineering and commerce.

It is open to all graduates (from any discipline), including those who have no previous Japanese language skills but who wish to learn Japanese language (at beginner's level) in Japan.

Minimum requirement: Any undergraduate degree (preferably with some Japanese language, but this is not compulsory). Native Japanese speakers are, however, excluded. Other nationalities are welcome, but must be enrolled at the University of Wollongong before participating.

Completion requirements: After one year of study at the exchange university in Japan, candidates will be required to pass an exit examination at the University of Wollongong in late February the following year. The diploma will be awarded upon the successful completion of these requirements.

The application process involves: A written application in the form of a statement of interest, and an interview to be held at the University of Wollongong. Very attractive full scholarships are available. (Further details will be supplied upon application.)
