Your journey with a diploma
Begin your university education at one of the world's leading institutions, with a focus on developing the fundamental skills to set you up for success. You’ll learn alongside Bachelor students in the same classes, with access to a personalised support network when it’s needed, meet people who share your ambitions and experience everything that makes student life here special. Between classes you can leap into campus life by joining a club and making friends from all across the globe, while exploring Australia's beautiful capital city.
Upon completion, you will be awarded with a diploma, a standalone qualification recognised across Australia and internationally. You may then choose to progress into further study in one of a range of our world-renowned Bachelor programs, with up to one year of credit—allowing you to earn a second qualification in as little as three years!
A different first step. The same ANU experience.
Build the academic skills to succeed
Develop the skills and confidence to succeed through the completion of the Academic Skills for University Study course, designed to strengthen your academic writing and research skills.
Personalised support throughout your studies
At ANU, learning is personal. As a diploma student, you’ll gain access to an academic advisor who will help you find your feet and move forward with confidence.
A clear pathway with credit
Once you complete your diploma, you will have the opportunity to progress directly into the second year of an aligned Bachelor degree, allowing you to graduate within three years of starting at ANU.
