Learning one or more foreign languages develops in-demand skills and opens many doors to diverse careers, travel and other unique opportunities. The Diploma in Languages is available to Australian students and is studied as a stand-alone degree, or in conjunction with an undergraduate degree, which means you'll finish with two qualifications in less time.

Proficiency in another language will enrich your personal growth and skill set. You can focus on just one language, or select multiple languages: • Chinese • French • German • Japanese AUSLAN and Indigenous language courses available as Directed or Elective options.

Our program offers courses that cover a range of language competencies, including speaking, listening, reading and writing in formal and informal contexts. In-country language courses and overseas study experiences are also available.

In today’s increasingly competitive and multicultural job market, our graduates enjoy unique opportunities, advantages and broader career options. Language study enhances travel opportunities and is an unrivalled way to gain cross-cultural understanding. You may find yourself promoted to lead a company’s largest business deal because of your language skills, or perhaps influence government legislation because of a deeper understanding of migrant communities and their differences.

If you’re passionate about justice and want to understand more about creating real change through legislation and policy – law is the career for you. You’ll learn about the principles underlying the Australian legal system while also advocating for legal rights on local, national and global issues. As Australia’s leading clinical law school, the University of Newcastle Law School’s Legal Centre provides you with the practical legal training and supervised clinical legal experience needed to practice as an Australian lawyer without any further study.

“Studying law at the University has provided me with more opportunities than I could have ever imagined. Having a smaller cohort than Sydney universities means that the Law School can invest in you and your individual path. Through my degree I’ve had the opportunity to study overseas and work in four countries, at places such as the National High Court of Brazil and the United Nations.”

Bachelor of Laws (Honours)

“What I love the most about my university experience is discovering new and inspiring ideas. The content of my degrees goes well beyond what I ever expected. I am majoring in Economics and taking many finance electives alongside it, exploring concepts and theories to explain how the world and society works. I have also made some invaluable friendships – hopefully to last a lifetime.”
